The Tullis Russell Group, which is headquartered in Markinch, Glenrothes and has over 740 employee owners working across three international sites, received the award for Talent Management Programme of the Year at the HR NETWORK National Awards 2014, which took place recently at the Glasgow Hilton. The company has developed its own talent management programmes as part of an integrated people strategy to support the business and help drive sustainable performance. As a result, the activity has played a significant role in helping re-shape the business to drive profit within a tough economic climate. The main aim of the company's talent management strategy has been to build employee ability. This has been achieved by understanding existing people-skills, the potential to build on them and current performance levels in order to match them to the needs of the business. The initiative has led to better retention of key staff, a programme of management training and development and new appointments to fill skills gaps identified as important to help the business develop across its international markets. Alan Gibson Group HR Director of Tullis Russell commenting on the award said: "We want to ensure that we identify the potential of every one of our employees and build a stronger business that is punching above its weight. And one that offers the very best possible skills and service to our customers. The benefits of the talent management strategy are being felt right across the Group as employees gain new skills, new talent is introduced into the fold and efficiencies put in place to deliver positive results." Almost 800 guests from the HR profession in Scotland attended the prestigious Annual Hr NETWORK National Awards, which was hosted by TV personality Stephen Jardine.
