This project diagnosed and evaluated the internal talent training at Zentiva, an international pharmaceutical company. The aim of the study, which took place in 2011, was to select the highest potential employees most suitable for career advancement within the company. FranklinCovey, a global training and consulting firm, implemented the customized training program developed for the task.
Post hoc analysis demonstrated that the program was successful. A significant improvement was shown in shifting the internal talent pool for future advancement into key positions within the company instead of looking outside the company. The individual internal training program was designed for each high potential employee to meet his/her future advancement within the company. The project was deemed successful and was followed by repeated measurements in subsequent years. The high talent pool was carefully monitored to understand the value of the metrics and refine the training to promote future success.
