Strengthening Talent Development for Sustainable Growth

The Challenge

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hemas Consumer, a leading player in the FMCG sector, needed to quickly adapt its talent development strategy to ensure an ambitious business growth. The key question was how to solidify and future-proof their talent pipeline amidst unprecedented disruptions. Hemas sought to establish a robust framework that would not only enhance current capabilities but also prepare their teams for the future.

Our Approach

Understanding the urgency and complexity of the situation, we designed a comprehensive, end-to-end solution to transform Hemas Consumer’s talent development strategy. Here’s how we approached it:

1. Competency Framework Design: To address the challenge, we collaborated closely with Hemas to design a tailored competency framework. This framework provided a clear roadmap for identifying, nurturing, and leveraging key talents within the organization, ensuring alignment with the company’s growth objectives.
2. Talent Assessments & Promotability Analysis: We conducted thorough online assessments to evaluate existing talent against the newly established competencies. This included identifying high-potential individuals and assessing their readiness for promotion. The focus was on ensuring that talent was not only aligned with current needs but also equipped to drive future growth.
3. Online Workshops & Consultations: Given the constraints of the pandemic, all workshops, consultations, and assessments were conducted virtually. Despite the shift to an online format, we maintained high levels of engagement and interactivity, ensuring that participants gained practical insights and actionable skills.
4. Ongoing Support & Consultation: To ensure that the newly developed strategies were successfully implemented, we provided continuous support and guidance. This included follow-up consultations to refine processes and address any emerging challenges.

The Results

The result was a robust, comprehensive competency framework that now underpins Hemas Consumer’s entire talent development strategy. This framework not only solidified their approach to talent management but also enhanced the skills of their leadership teams. The organization emerged stronger, with a clearer focus on promotability and a workforce that is better equipped to navigate future challenges.
