High Potential Identification

Find and Retain your HIPO Talent

Hiring continues to be a struggle, so finding and retaining top internal talent has become a priority. Identify your high potential employees and double talent retention.

High-potential (HIPO) employees are critical to your organization’s current and future success. They are the key players you want to identify and develop to power your organization.

SHL research shows that HIPOs are 91% more valuable than non-HIPOs. But today’s reality is that 73% of HIPO programs are failing to deliver business outcomes or ROI. So what needs to change to achieve HIPO program success?

The best companies use predictive measures to identify true high-potentials, compare them against the competition and develop them through on-the-job learning to drive performance impact.

Accurately identify HIPOs by measuring the factors critical for success.
Assess your competitive talent positioning and focus development spend.
Enable efficient and scalable on-the-job learning with performance impact.
Apply best practice insights and tools to sustain the impact of your HIPO program.

Setting up HIPO

Who will be effective when they reach leadership positions? Only 1 in 4 professionals exhibit very high levels of leadership potential in their early careers. To provide a more holistic assessment of the ability to be effective in more challenging and senior roles, SHL has identified attributes that drive future leadership performance potential – beyond cognitive and reasoning ability. Learn more about SHL’s HIPO model in our latest guide.

Who will commit to the organization and remain in senior roles? HIPOs are highly sought after in an increasingly competitive market and less than half of high potentials intend to stay with their current employer. Engaged HIPOs are 1.5x more likely to stay – but how is engagement defined? SHL’s definition and measurement is composed of two factors: current and future engagement.
