The difference a talent management platform can make
Expectations of workforces are changing as a result of seismic shifts in working patterns. A recent global study revealed that around 40% of workers plan to leave their current employer within the year.
Losing talent, as well as each poor hire, can end up costing a company thousands of dollars. It can also have a long term impact on an organisation in terms of succession planning and knowledge drain. But leading companies are increasingly making use of talent analytics and digital talent management tools to develop focused talent strategies to help mitigate that talent loss and build overall talent potential.
The difference the right talent management solution makes is that leaders and HR decision-makers can make better, proactive decisions with talent analytics. With insights into their talent pool, they can assess overall organisational strengths and challenges, develop effective employee engagement and retention strategies, hire better and faster, build stronger teams, identify future leaders, and ultimately, become employers of choice.

Catalyst Interest Profile
The Catalyst Interest Profile focuses on areas of interest, motivation and work task preference. It maps an individual’s vocational interest and can match them to career pathways.
Catalyst Preference Profile
The Catalyst Preference Profile provides information about an individual’s strengths, personality-based motivations, challenges and stress factors. It maps an individual’s preferred work environment in which they are most likely to thrive.
Catalyst Values Profile
The Catalyst Values Profile helps the individual to reflect on what is important for them, both at work and in a personal setting. It maps an individual’s work values and identifies what they need to focus on to be more resilient and to better handle stress.
How the profiling assessment works
Candidates complete the career discovery assessment online using a link sent to their email address. The assessment takes about 30 minutes. After completing their assessment, their Catalyst Profile is collated with the rest of their team and compiled into the interactive dashboards, Catalyst Engage or Catalyst Recruit (for hiring managers). Optionally, candidates can receive a personalised report in PDF format.
