Smart Workforce Transformation

Informed by recent legal shifts and Presidential directives, our Focus365® process sets a new standard for fairness and efficiency.

Reimagine talent acquisition, leadership development, and cultural evolution with our masked, merit‐based Focus365® methodology. Our strategic Recruitment Pools create robust development tracks for promotion‐eligible employees by providing customized training, development, and learning experiences that prepare them for the next phase of their careers. We designed this program to expand your pool of skilled employees ready to assume greater responsibility. With an aging workforce, building your bench of promotable talent has never been more essential. Focus365® is ideal when you anticipate multiple vacancies in the same job classification.

 

Our process begins with in‐depth discussions about the positions to be filled and the skills you expect promotion‐eligible employees to bring to the job. Based on your priorities, we craft a tailored curriculum and schedule for your review and approval. We then develop communication materials—including emails, intranet articles, and signage—to announce the availability of the development pool and participation criteria. Employees in eligible positions may self‐nominate or be recommended by their managers.

Once the development pool is established, we coordinate and evaluate all in‐person events and educational offerings. Participants connect with one another, with your team, and with our Focus & Find® experts. As they progress, we maintain detailed records and performance scores, providing regular updates and a final report that ranks each candidate while highlighting individual strengths. Ultimately, participants enhance their current skills and position themselves for future promotion.

 

Our holistic approach—guided by recent legal shifts and Presidential directives—employs masked evaluations to eliminate extraneous identifiers, setting a new standard for fairness and efficiency and powering a Smart Workforce built for tomorrow.
