Integral Fusion Launches Talent Management System
Reduce costs and retain best work force for business growth

30 November 2009, Gauteng, South Africa: Integral Fusion, a leading technology solutions company, has launched a talent management system, the Talent Scoop. Built with the latest Microsoft technologies, the talent management system ensures optimisation of resources, both in terms of quality and quantity, to meet business priorities.

This comprehensive system covers all the key aspects of an employee’s work cycle, in an organisation from selection of candidature to professional development, from human resources assessments to performance management in relation to organisational growth. Talent Scoop also enables an organisation to align and synchronise employee skills with organisational goals.

Talent Scoop emerges as a niche product, in relation to its competitors because of its features and the processes it follows. This highly mature system uses a clear guideline of the organisation’s current and future business strategies as basis, and identifies key gaps between the talent in place and the talent required to drive those business strategies. A sound talent management plan is then designed to close those talent gaps and, simultaneously, integrated with the organisation’s’ strategic and business plans.

Thereafter, accurate employment and promotion procedures can be followed. The right talents are business drivers of an organisation A company can only rise phenomenally, if its people are responsible and accountable.

The system gives a distinctive outline of individual, team and corporate goals and provides an account of clear expectations and feedback to manage performance. Once skills have been assessed, team leaders are developed, who work vigilantly towards integrating individual and organisational goals. The development of talent to enhance performance in current positions, as well as the preparation of employees for transition to the next level are areas which are identified and worked upon.

Speaking on the launch of this new product, Noel Deyzel, Managing Director, Integral Fusion, says ,, “We have always fulfilled our commitment towards our clients and this product is a reassurance of the same. The talent management system is comprised of critical success factors that work together to ensure agencies have people with the right skills, in the right places, at the right time. Addressing the critical success factors helps eliminate gaps and deficiencies in the skills, knowledge, and competencies of employees in mission-critical occupations in the current and future workforce.”

In the current economic slowdown it has become imperative for organisations to choose the right kind of people, especially at mid-level leadership ranks. Many organisations have felt the blow of the economic downturn. New pressures have been exerted on management, and not everyone has been able to handle them.

The A-players can, and there should be a strategic emphasis on keeping leaders – and developing their successors. While many organisations are reducing their workforce, special care should be taken not to cut back so severely that talent is scarce when the economy rebounds.

It is very important at this crucial hour to maintain a fine balance and get the best of both worlds. And the Talent Scoop helps you do just that. The idea of managing talent is not new. Four or five decades ago, it was viewed as a peripheral responsibility best relegated to the personnel department. But now, talent management is an organizational function that is taken far more seriously.
