Talent review boards

Talent Review Boards comprise a group of managers who come together to calibrate and evaluate the performance, potential, aspirations and readiness of the individuals they manage. A collective review enables a greater level of rigor, fairness and objectivity in decision making in relation to access to support and development and provides an effective forum for robust succession planning.
