Talent Optimization

Talent Optimization aligns business strategy with people strategy to drive performance. It leverages data to improve hiring, leadership development, and employee engagement. By fostering a strong culture and enhancing collaboration, businesses boost productivity, reduce turnover, and create an environment where both employees and the organization thrive.

Success demands more than fragmented solutions—it requires optimizing the entire talent journey with a science-backed approach. Discover how MCG Partners leverages the Predictive Index (PI) methodology to deliver comprehensive Talent Optimization that drives measurable results.

The Challenge

High turnover and difficulty attracting talent.

A healthcare organization was struggling with poor workforce alignment, resulting in a 26% talent turnover rate and difficulty attracting top performers in a competitive market. Hiring managers were making inconsistent selection decisions, with a majority of new hires falling short of performance expectations within their first year. 

The Solution

A personalized talent optimization framework.

MCG Partners designed a talent optimization framework that included implementing assessment tools, redesigning the selection process, and providing managers with coaching on effective hiring and development practices. The solution incorporated data-driven insights to match candidates’ behavioral profiles with role requirements and team dynamics. 

The Result

Reduced new hire turnover by 47% and decreased time-to-productivity by 34%.

Within nine months, the organization reduced new hire turnover by 47% and decreased time-to-productivity by 34%, resulting in 28% improved productivity and 31% recruitment and training cost savings. Employee performance metrics improved by 23% for teams using the new talent optimization framework, while hiring manager confidence scores increased by 42% according to post-implementation surveys.
