Top talent are seen as being most capable and they
are usually a priority group when it comes to employee engagement. They typically grab the limelight in every
organisation. Recently a survey was done
to examine the differences between top talent and the developing capabilities
group. It is important to engage and
retain the capabilities group.
The capabilities group are less positive about
their work environment. They feel less
able to speak up and less likely to have sufficient authority to do their jobs
well. The employees feels that their
performance are not being evaluated fairly and that they are appropriately
recognised.
Fairness is the top engagement driver among this
group. These employees are more engaged
when they feel they are treated with respect, fairness and integrity. Thus, managing both spectrums of employees,
the top talent and the developing capabilities is a way to maximise the best
performance and the potentials. Addressing
both group is important.
