ORC’s research has shown that the talent management systems of companies with diverse senior leadership teams have in common a number of features:
- Identifying a diverse pool of future leaders early in their professional careers
- Giving high potential employees critical developmental experiences while allowing alternatives to traditional career paths
- Using formal processes for ensuring the diversity of succession slates
- Analysing data to reveal pinch points in the system
- Holding senior leaders accountable for developing a diverse talent pipeline
- Involving the non-executive Board of Directors in talent management and diversity
- Educating leaders about barriers to advancement of women and minorities
In this guide, we’ll examine best practices in each of these areas.
