Achieving effective talent management with integrated objectives and key results

Client Profile

Our client is a leading vendor of human resource management systems (HRMS) designed to enhance workforce engagement and align strategic goals with daily operations. Their products help organizations optimize productivity and achieve key business objectives by integrating workforce management with broader organizational goals.

Project Background

The client engaged Everest Consultants to develop a cutting-edge talent management application centred around the Objectives and Key Results (OKR) framework. OKRs are widely used across industries to set, measure, and coordinate organizational, team, and individual objectives and key results. The OKR methodology fosters alignment, transparency, and accountability, helping organizations improve talent management and drive overall performance.

The client also needed a visually dynamic and analytics-driven dashboard to be integrated into their HRMS platform. This would provide robust tools for data analysis, reporting, and user feedback, elevating the platform’s value to users.

While the client had a clear understanding of the desired outcomes for the application, they required guidance on how to design and structure the user interface and workflow to achieve their vision.
