HR Advisory

The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) brings forth fundamental changes in the way we live, work and relate to one another. It is a new chapter in human development enabled by extraordinary technological advances. At Forvis Mazars, we aim to keep our service offerings relevant by gearing our talent assessment solutions to accommodate and incorporate future needs.

The end goal

The minimization of poor talent decisions negatively affects the bottom line.

The question remains how?

Potential strategies to consider include:

• Developing a robust talent identification and selection process that is aligned with overall talent management architecture.
• Obtaining a clear picture of what constitutes and enables success for specific roles within the organisation.
• Making use of technology and artificial intelligence to improve Talent Assessment efficiency, which includes a reduction in assessment administration and turn-around times, implementing effective reporting strategies, enhancing candidate experiences and reducing cost by means of:
• The use of high volume low-cost social media screening methodologies to build and sustain a robust talent pool. 
• The use of candidate-centric smartphone assessments provides candidates easy access to assessments.

Benefits to your business 

The business benefits regarding the use of assessments in the workplace are well established. Recently, our best-of-breed assessment product partner, cut-e (an Aon company) has released several research results which confirm these real-world benefits. SHL’s 2018 Global Assessment Trends Report indicates that assessments continue to be an integral part of several key HR priorities. Organisations are currently using assessments for high-potential identification (82%), leadership development (82%), external hiring (79%), career development (79%), and internal hiring (72%).
