Organizations today place a strong emphasis on understanding and developing their workforce. Within UKG’s Talent Management suite, the Talent Factors feature plays a vital role in evaluating employees based on various attributes like leadership, performance, and growth potential. However, many organizations seek greater flexibility to better align evaluations with their unique needs. Adding custom talent factors becomes essential to creating a tailored approach, and CloudApper provides a simple, seamless solution to achieve this within UKG.

Why Embracing Custom Talent Factors Matters

Investing in adding custom talent factors brings tangible benefits to organizations that prioritize workforce development. By capturing the traits that matter most, businesses ensure their leadership pipelines are stronger and more aligned with company goals. It also boosts employee engagement, as individuals feel recognized for the competencies that contribute most to the organization’s success.

Moreover, custom evaluations help companies identify hidden talent, uncover skill gaps, and promote a culture of transparency and continuous growth. Rather than relying solely on generic assessments, HR teams can now fine-tune evaluations to highlight potential in ways that drive business performance.
