In the spotlight
MCC Verstraete builds smarter development plans through objective skills data
MCC Verstraete set out to future‑proof its workforce by transforming scattered sources — task spreadsheets, work instructions, evaluations, learning plans, and more — into a single digital source of truth. Traditional performance reviews and onboarding had leaned on gut‑feel assessments, leaving junior employees unclear about expectations and managers without objective evidence of progress. By centralising its skills data in Talentguide, MCC Verstraete now turns real‑time insights into personalised development plans that steer employees from day one and clearly map the steps ahead in their growth journey.

The shift with talentguide

From task spreadsheets to clear skill profiles
Rather than relying on scattered documents like spreadsheets, vacancies, and work instructions, MCC Verstraete now generates clear, AI-enhanced job profiles that outline key competencies and expectations for every role across levels. This ensures new hires and existing employees understand what’s expected and can map their growth accordingly.

From gut-feel to objective, multi-perspective evaluations
Using one shared skills matrix in Talentguide, managers and employees now evaluate performance based on clearly defined tasks, traits, and knowledge. This shared structure ensures both perspectives are taken into account, making evaluations more consistent, transparent, and focused on what truly matters in the role.

From static evaluations to dynamic learning plans
Based on the evaluations, talentguide assists managers by automatically generating a 70-20-10 development plan. It suggests tasks to build skills on the job, identifies colleagues who excel in specific areas and can offer peer support, and recommends targeted formal learning opportunities to bridge any gaps. This transforms evaluations into actionable, personalised learning journeys that keep employees growing.
