Talent and Organisation

Regardless of size, geography, or industry, every organisation makes significant investments in its talent. Success requires visionary leaders, exceptional talent at all levels, and the right strategies to keep that talent current, motivated, and focused. Aon Hewitt’s Talent and Organisation practice drives organisational success through leadership development, efficient talent management and mitigation of human capital risk.

We help our clients develop comprehensive, disciplined strategies for managing talent worldwide, by helping them create fully integrated talent strategies that work across borders, engage their employees, and achieve superior results. 

We offer forward-looking solutions to help you:

• Identify and develop the leadership talent needed for business success – now and in the future
• Attract, select, manage, engage, reward and retain the right talent
• Improve organisational effectiveness and the effectiveness of the HR function
• Communicate to drive the right employee behaviours

We have consultants dedicated to making sure your programmes, policies and processes support a culture of high performance where teamwork, accountability, results and recognition are paramount. 

Our solutions are backed by a wealth of world-class data, as well as our experience delivering HR services to nearly 20 million people.

Leadership Assessment and Development 

Identifying and developing leadership talent is one of the most critical business needs in the modern workplace.  Our award-winning solutions have helped organisations of all sizes - including some of the world’s largest – identify and grow their next generation of leaders.

Using competency-based leadership assessment and development programmes - including web-based leadership simulations, executive coaching, feedback-intense development workshops, and ongoing action learning - we help clients increase leadership retention and improve leadership effectiveness.

Employee engagement

Low employee engagement is pervasive — nearly half of the world's employees are not engaged. Our research across more than 7,000 organisations indicates that each disengaged employee costs your organisation an average of over €7,000 in profit annually. Can you afford this hidden expense?

At Aon Hewitt, we use employee engagement as a key performance metric to measure the resilience and sustainability of your organisation. We define "engagement" as the emotional and intellectual involvement that motivates employees to do their best work and contribute to your organisation's success.

We are the leader in integrating engagement research with practical application. Engagement is a concept we pioneered in the early '90s, and we have conducted surveys in more than 120 countries, in 60 languages, and in nearly every industry.  We provide insights into employee survey results which mean that actions are targeted and have a high impact on business results. Our solution is complete — from survey design to reporting, action planning, and implementation.

In recognition of the specific challenges within small to medium-sized organisations, we have created a Rapid Engagement proposition. Please click here to read more about it.

Organisational Change

In every business environment, organisations need strategies and structured plans to manage change, minimise risk, and guide organisational initiatives. Aon Hewitt assists organisations in transforming themselves and building the internal capability to respond to market changes. We look at each situation holistically, from the core of an organisation to external factors and business environment.

We improve efficiency, productivity, and workforce commitment. We also help clients achieve Mergers & Acquisition goals, reduce re-engineering costs, and improve customer satisfaction.

Talent Strategy, Acquisition, and Management 

Securing, retaining, and maximising top talent is the result of a thoughtfully designed talent strategy.  In addition to our leadership and assessment work, Aon Hewitt helps clients anticipate talent needs with workforce planning solutions that align HR with business strategy. We also help clients attract, process and acquire the right talent for each organisation’s current business needs.
