TalentQuest Offers High-Impact 360 Feedback with OnPoint Strategic Alliance

360 Surveys Enhance Influence and Leadership Abilities for Managers at All Levels.

ATLANTA, June 25, 2009 - TalentQuest, a human capital management and software solutions firm, has formed a new partnership with OnPoint Consulting, a consulting firm that delivers practical, research-based solutions to improve leader and organizational effectiveness. The firms have joined forces to extend their scope of high-impact leadership services to respective clients.

TalentQuest and OnPoint recognized they shared a common objective: to help leaders clarify strengths, recognize opportunities, and devise plans to enhance performance effectiveness. OnPoint has developed a host of multi-rater questionnaires tailored for each managerial level: from first-line managers to senior leadership. These 360 surveys address the specific managerial practices and influence tactics that differentiate top and bottom performers, including executing plans, leading others, innovating, and working across organizational boundaries. TalentQuest will offer the Influence With Impact, Flexible Leader, and Virtual Team Leader 360 surveys to clients, along with feedback reporting and follow-up coaching.

“We have always believed in the power of the 360 report as a leadership effectiveness tool, and OnPoint’s surveys take that evaluation capability to the next level,” said Kevin Sessions, President of TalentQuest. “These carefully crafted, research-based surveys cause positive changes in leadership behaviors, and we look forward to offering clients that benefit.”

TalentQuest will provide OnPoint with their web-based performance management system, helping clients automate and simplify their performance review processes and produce more effective evaluations. OnPoint will extend TalentQuest’s Competency Management, Objectives Management and Performance Management modules to clients, to ensure individual goals are aligned with organizational goals.

“TalentQuest’s proven performance management platform is going to add immediate value to our clients, both enhancing their user experience and providing real-time reporting,” explained Rick Lepsinger, President of OnPoint Consulting. “Now our clients can integrate the results of these critical 360 surveys with a comprehensive performance management system, impacting their entire organization.”
