Hiring can be expensive, time-consuming and uncertain. That’s why employers should strive to identify and develop their organization’s high-potential employees. To help guard against bias, create an objective, data-based process. Look for traits such as initiative, resilience, engagement, adaptability and natural leadership. Skills tests and validated assessments may be beneficial if used fairly and consistently. Once you identify high-potential employees, tailor development plans to their strengths, interests and growth needs through formal and on-the-job training, rotations, and mentorships.
