Leading Technology Firm Develops Skills of Highest Potential Talent With SHL

Finding People with the Right Skills and Potential to Drive Business Growth

One Mount Group is Vietnam’s largest technological ecosystem that creates solutions along the entire value chain, through 3 key products:

• VinShop – A retail application that partners with grocery store owners to foster business development.
• VinID – A customer loyalty platform serving the needs of Vietnamese people.
• OneHousing – Vietnam's most comprehensive and trusted real estate ecosystem.

To maintain their competitive advantage, One Mount wanted to ensure the business had talent with the right skills to take the business forward. Ms. Phi Thi My Hanh is the Talent Management & Development Director at One Mount and explains why developing employees was important, “One Mount wanted to identify and nurture a team of future leaders who could take bold and decisive action to successfully execute the company's strategies.”

To do this, One Mount needed to first assess their workforce and identify those high potentials that were most suited to take the business forward.

SHL showed how we could assess talent across our organization quickly and access immediate insights into leadership capability across individuals and teams.

Selecting the Right Partner to Provide Reliable, Valid Results

Having previously evaluated talent through subjective measures such as annual performance reports, line-manager feedback, and closed-ended questions around behaviors, Ms. Phi Thi My Hanh realized they needed a more reliable, accurate and fair method to assess their talent. “We wanted to keep our 3 pillars of measurement—Commitment, Competency and Contribution, but needed a way to move to an objective, data-driven approach to measure them” she says.

When searching for a suitable provider to help them with a new approach, One Mount had 3 main requirements:

1. Proven, validated and reliable assessment results
2. Developmental insights and suggestions for employees
3. Easy-to-use platform for managers and participants

After seeing a demo of SHL’s HIPO solution, Ms. Phi Thi My Hanh saw those requirements were more than met, enabling One Mount to accurately identify future leaders with ease.

SHL Powers Developmental Insights to Unlock Potential

With SHL, One Mount were able to assess existing employees and newly recruited people through a short assessment that measured 3 key characteristics, proven to determine employee success in more senior roles—aspiration, ability and engagement. From this process, One Mount identified 50 individuals within the business that showed the most potential and had the right skills to meet the target leader profiles that they had developed.

Those individuals received an ‘Unlocking Potential Report’ which provided personalized insights to help them to manage their own learning with a clear pathway to leadership.

From the aggregated insights and reports available, Ms. Phi Thi My Hanh and her team could also see which developmental areas needed most attention across the organization and assign employees to suitable programs that would help them develop.

Over 80% of employees found the insights and reports provided by SHL highly relevant for realizing future aspirations.
