Know what to address first.

The Performance Picture is a ten-working-day assessment of how performance is managed in your business. We bring together your view, your team’s experience and your records to identify the gaps and recommend next steps.

Sample report page: what leadership believes against what staff experience, across the six conditions
  1. Grace expected 77% agreement across the sixteen statements.
  2. Her staff agreed with 36%. Twenty-six of twenty-nine answered, anonymously.
  3. Fairness has the widest gap: judgements are not trusted, and the business is exposed.

Every score needs evidence.

We ask about actual practices and examples. Scores use written descriptions of each level and draw on interviews, staff responses and records.

Follow-up PACE Checks use the same framework so you can compare practices over time.

Hear your team’s experience.

The staff survey is anonymous. Talentos holds the responses and reports results only for groups of five or more. Survey comments are not attributed to individuals.

A stand‑alone assessment

The fee depends on the size of your business and is agreed before work starts.

The findings are yours to act on. If you want Talentos’s help implementing them, we prepare a separate proposal based on the assessment.
