Talent Management Technology: Linking Performance to Learning

David Muehlbauer, Director of Learning and Performance Support, Sundt Construction

While employees have limited time to invest in learning, companies have an essential need to assure that employees have the knowledge and skills to perform at high levels. Linking a company’s performance management process to individual employee learning can help address these two challenges, but it is not an easy task. Learn how one company has approached this issue using an integrated talent management system that ties competencies, performance assessments, goals, development plans and learning.

By attending this presentation, participants will be able to:

• Describe the components necessary to create a system that links competencies, performance assessment and learning;
• Recognize some of the challenges in linking performance to training, in terms of both technology and people; and
• Identify one or more starting points for enhancing the linking between performance and learning in their own organization.
