Phase 2 and Beyond

Expanding from critical roles to enterprise-wide talent management

Phase 1 activates Pillars 2 (Behavioural Assessment) and 3 (Career Development and Succession) of dfcu Bank's strategy. Phase 2 extends into Pillars 1 and 4 - broadening talent acquisition capability and deploying structured performance management. Phase 3 achieves full Pillar 5 activation: a live People Balance Sheet, enterprise analytics, and strategic advisory. All phases run on the same platform - no migration, no new vendor.

Performance

Performance Management

Shift from annual reviews to continuous performance enablement. Goal cascading from strategy to individual, real-time feedback, and TAILA-assisted development conversations. Separates constant goals from changing activities.

Phase 2
Analytics

People Analytics as a Service

Sequenced deployment of DataWiz dashboards based on your priority questions. Phase 1 analytics live in 6-8 weeks. Includes SHRM-certified training for HR business partners. 60+ strategic perspectives across 15 HR themes.

Phase 2
Skills

Skills Audit

A verified, data-driven view of both behavioural and technical capability across your organisation. Particularly relevant for your agri banking and technical specialisation needs. 4-6 week deployment.

Phase 2
Development

Individual Development Plans

Structured IDP module within TalentPrint. Each employee has a personalised development plan aligned to their succession readiness level and career aspirations. TAILA provides ongoing coaching nudges.

Phase 2
Leadership

Management Mentorship Programme

Structured mentorship framework for branch managers and sector heads. Pairs senior leaders with high-potential successors. Accelerates R2 and R3 successors toward readiness.

Phase 3
Leadership

Executive Coaching

One-to-one coaching for senior leaders and high-potential executives. Delivered by accredited Peopletree coaches. Particularly relevant for EXCO and senior branch leadership development.

Phase 3
Mobility

Internal Mobility Platform

TalentProfile enables employees to manage their internal career visibility. Reduces dependency on external hiring by surfacing internal candidates for open roles automatically.

Phase 3
Strategy

Talent Strategy Development

Ongoing strategic advisory support as dfcu Bank's talent maturity grows. Includes annual talent strategy review, board and EXCO presentation support, and alignment to business strategy shifts.

Ongoing
Assessment

Development Centre Design

Structured assessment centres for promotion decisions and leadership pipeline identification. Combines TalentPrint assessments with structured observation and panel review.

Phase 3
Maturity Progression

From maturity level 1 to strategic self-sufficiency

dfcu Bank's Talent Management Strategy includes a maturity index that tracks progress across all five pillars - from ad hoc (Level 1) to predictive and strategic (Level 4). Each phase of the Peopletree engagement is designed to advance the maturity index score, giving EXCO a measurable view of progress and a clear target state.

01
Ad Hoc

Talent processes are informal, inconsistent, and reactive. No shared data. Decisions based on intuition.

CURRENT STATE
02
Structured

Core processes defined and consistently applied. Succession pipeline in place for critical roles. Assessment data integrated.

PHASE 1 TARGET
03
Integrated

All pillars active. People Balance Sheet operational. HR makes evidence-based decisions. Performance and development connected.

PHASE 2 TARGET
04
Predictive

Talent decisions are proactive and data-led. AI-powered insights. Bank-wide self-sufficiency of resource achieved.

PHASE 3 TARGET
Enterprise Agreement

Moving toward a full talent lifecycle partnership

As the engagement matures, dfcu Bank has the option to move to an enterprise agreement that covers the full talent lifecycle across all 1,200 employees. This simplifies commercial management, reduces per-unit costs through volume, and provides a single partner accountable for all talent outcomes.
