One platform of assessments and real-time people insights to objectively identify high potential employees.

Identifying HIPOs depends on objective data.

Without objective data, identifying high potential employees is challenging. And when they go unrecognized, your business loses benefits like improved engagement and diversity.

Performance alone can't predict high potential.

Many organizations assume high performance is a marker of high potential, but only 15% of high performers are likely to be high potential. Broader, scientific, objective measures are necessary to identify true HIPO employees.

HIPOs are often underutilized.

95% of HIPO programs fail to drive development follow-through, limiting HIPOs from reaching their full potential and preventing their organization from benefiting from the full value a high-potential employee could provide.

HIPO identification processes are subject to bias.

Traditional approaches to HIPO employee identification often rely on subjective beliefs about high potential: 73% of HIPOs are identified based primarily on a single subjective nomination. Objective insights give HIPO pools depth and diversity.
