We are having a number of discussions with our clients as they get ready for 2026 by developing their talent management strategies. Most of our clients begin using the PXT Select and the Job Fit data that it provides, to support the Hiring component of the Employee Lifecycle. Often, this is the extent of usage for many of our clients using the PXT Select. Despite 62% of managers wanting to use talent management assessments, 43% of organizations rarely implement them. This creates a troubling disconnect between available tools and their actual usage.
The consequences show up in team performance. According to the data surveying 2000 workers, only 34% of team members understand how their colleagues naturally operate. People end up working against each others natural styles instead of with them because they don’t have a common way to talk about how they work and why they do things the way that they do.
Once you have collected an individuals PXT Select Data, the scope of what you can accomplish with this data is so much more! To further define Talent Management, we encourage our clients to think about how to use the PXT data to:
- support the on-boarding process: focus on team integration and behavioral awareness using the PXT Select Team Report and Manager/Employee Reports.
- Support the Coaching and Development process: Use data driven insights for strength based growth paths using the PXT Select Coaching Report and Leadership Reports.
- Retention: Build ongoing trust so people feel valued. 82% of workers point to Trust in relationships as a significant factor. Only 34% of team members understand how their colleagues naturally operate.
The organizations that get this right build talent management assessments directly into their hiring and development workflows. These tools help identify not just who can do the job, but who will thrive in specific team environments. Post hire, these same insights become valuable for coaching conversations, project assignments, and conflict resolution.
The trick is making the Profiles PXT Select insights a living part of team culture, NOT a onetime exercise. When team members understand each other’s natural tendencies, they can adjust their communication styles, delegate more effectively, and build stronger working relationships.
