Talent Review Meeting and Dashboard Overview

Talent Review is a critical post-performance appraisal phase where managers collectively review and discuss the performance and potential of their subordinates. It typically occurs in a formal meeting setting, supported by a Talent Review Dashboard that includes visual tools like the 9-Box Matrix.

During the meeting, managers:

  • Re-evaluate ratings given during performance appraisals.
  • Adjust ratings based on group consensus or additional insights.
  • Identify high-potential employees who are also at high risk of leaving the organization.
  • Recognize low performers who may need improvement plans or additional support.
  • Plan retention strategies for top talent (e.g., special tasks, compensation, rewards).
  • Consider actions like goal reassignment, succession planning, and recognition programs (e.g., Employee of the Month).

The 9-Box Matrix is commonly used to evaluate:

  • Performance vs. Potential, or
  • Impact of Loss vs. Risk of Loss

High-performing and high-potential employees are considered critical assets, but they also present a high attrition risk, making it essential to engage, reward, and retain them. On the other hand, low performers may require development plans or performance improvement programs.

This process ensures organizational continuity, supports succession planning, and nurtures a strong leadership pipeline.
