CEOs can be heard to say: Our employees are our most important asset. Sometimes they say it even when HR people are not in the room. But this sentence does not tell the whole story. We should actually say: Our best employees are our most important asset. Or perhaps the CEO really means: The organization with the best talent wins. Then we can all agree.
So for all companies that want to deliver superior value, the key understanding is that Talent Drives Performance!

So the next question is how can we assess, acquire, and manage talent? Doing that as quickly and efficiently as possible has been the focus for talent management companies such as Taleo

Today, by releasing a new brand, Taleo affirms that even if you are the leader in the space, you shouldnt be too shy to be innovative!

So lets get back to basics. For the curious, what does Taleo mean? Tal stands for talent. And eo is a Latin word which means to move, progress, or advance. So Taleo means: to move or advance talent. And all of us here at Taleo intend to advance the art and science of talent management within the enterprise and the world to create value for our customers.
What does the symbol represent? It symbolizes people gathering to form high performance teams. The greater than symbol in dark green signifies how finding and retaining the right talent will result in improved business performance.

All of us in the talent management industry are very excited about the growing momentum for talent strategies at the boardroom level. But be aware that enthusiasm is based on real-world results and sustainable performance!
