What is the program about?

A program designed and supported as a complete process, from selection to development plans; scope varies by project.

Identifying talent is not an event but a process. A talent program works when there is a strategy behind it, it fits the rest of the organization's operations, it has measurable checkpoints, senior leadership takes part in it, and the mentors who support the talents are prepared for their role and receive support along the way.

What the organization gets: a talent management strategy and process that fit the way the organization works, with built-in measurement and evaluation points; a mentoring system that is designed and rolled out with leadership involvement and internal communication support; mentors prepared for their role, with ongoing supervision and a mentor club.

Who is the program for?

For large companies that want to build or develop a talent program or mentoring system; for HR leaders and professionals responsible for talent management; and for the leadership of organizations that want to involve senior management in the process. Preparing future mentors and mentees is also part of the service.

When is it worth starting?

a talent management strategy needs to be created or renewed
a mentoring system needs to be introduced, or the existing one professionalized
the talent program needs measurable, assessable checkpoints.

How we work

We prepare mentors for their role, and in our mentor clubs they receive ongoing support and supervision. We pay particular attention to making sure that mentors and mentees alike understand the principles a clear, well-functioning mentoring relationship needs.

For more than fifteen years, GROW has been helping large companies build their talent programs and mentoring systems, with references such as MOL and K&H Bank. Our consultants are experienced both in designing the process and in developing the related skills, so we support the full arc: from strategy, through measurement points and leadership involvement, to preparing mentors and supervising mentor clubs.

We treat talent programs not as isolated initiatives but as a complete process, paying close attention to how the program fits the rest of the organization's operations. Scope varies by project.
