An unprecedented opportunity to create an extraordinary impact within your organization exists by investing resources within the middle “majority” of your employees.  Research shows that 80% of training and recognition resources are invested in top performers and low performers within most organizations. This leaves only 20% of resources going toward managing the talent of the “middle majority” – those who are consistent – yet not exemplary – performers. This middle level talent is often comprised of those whose experience or education doesn’t lend itself to higher levels of leadership, “A” players who are simply scaling back in terms of better life / work balance, and those whose career aspirations are tempered by the demands of their personal life.

Yet, if only the middle 60% of an organization’s talent improves performance by just five percent, the bottom-line value to that company’s revenue improves by a whopping 70 percent.  When this differential spending is contrasted against anticipated potential, one can clearly see the opportunity for measurable improvement is incredible.  This is why dtkResources has long advocated that focusing on this MID-level talent is where an organization has the greatest opportunity to differentiate itself from its competitors.

All dtkResources onboarding programs are fully customized to meet your defined needs, talent management goals and specific measurement requirements.   However,  in the absence of any specific formal or informal needs assessment performed on and with your organization, the following training modules provide the foundation of our work with your mid-level talent:

• Support for new managers and newly promoted execs
• transitioning from individual contributor to manager
• assimilating new hires
• expressing expectations
• extracting peak performance
• identifying and developing talent
