TALENT DEVELOPMENT
PEOPLE ARE OUR PASSION.
THEIR SUCCESS IS OUR FOCUS.
People create profits. Investing in them is key to success. Too often, companies fail to create an employee experience that captures the needs of our diverse communities, forcing unique team members into a one-size-fits-all approach. This can result in high turnover — and struggling performance.

At Seabrook Talent, we partner with businesses to create inclusive and comprehensive talent development programs that, instead, minimize turnover and maximize performance.
Our expert team understands both sides of talent development — the frustrations people experience in their careers and the challenges companies face in developing talent that strengthens their return.
With more than 20 years of experience across Fortune 500, Forbes Top 100 non-profit, and mid-market companies, we bring innovative evidence-based tools and methods to each interaction, rather than relying on trendy guru fads. Our values of trust, equality, collaboration, aspiration, innovation, and philanthropy are always present.
We’re more than a company. We’re a community dedicated to our partners’ career success to drive social change. We succeed when you succeed.
WHAT IS TALENT DEVELOPMENT?
When companies invest in their people, it positions employees for career growth and advancement in a way that aligns with the strategy and goals of the business.
This doesn’t happen overnight. Businesses build their team through education, experience, and exposure — otherwise known as talent development. Understanding people’s strengths, developmental areas and goals allows businesses to create a plan to grow an employee’s skills to meet company needs.
This approach allows team members to learn new skills, apply what they’ve learned, and expand their networks through project sponsorships, mentoring, and more.
WHAT IS DIVERSE TALENT DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING?
FOR DIVERSE TALENT DEVELOPMENT,
THERE ARE THREE KEY COMPONENTS
INTENTION
Studies show the role bias plays in the workplace. To overcome this, it is important to be intentional in developing diverse talent by creating programs and opportunities tied to organizational metrics.
ADAPTATION
Diverse talent often have unique needs as a result of their background. A one-size-fits-all approach can create barriers. It is important to understand the needs of unique team members and tailor programs so that they are more inclusive and encompassing of your entire workforce.
UNDERSTANDING
Leaders need to understand how to work with diverse talent as well as support their unique needs and challenges. Leadership training and reinforcement are critical.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF WORKING WITH A TALENT DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT?
Talent development consultants are an extension of your talent management team who bring proven evidence-based and industry best practices to your company.
Larger companies benefit when they want to develop new programs and don’t have the bandwidth to add new ones on top of current workloads. Small and medium businesses often do not have the capacity or volume to warrant a dedicated talent development team — yet can have the same talent development needs as larger ones.
Talent development consultants fill these gaps by providing the services needed at an optimized balance with the ability to scale alongside the business.
WHAT SHOULD YOU CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A TALENT DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT?
Since anyone can call themselves a consultant, many important factors should be considered when selecting one. You should ask any prospective consultant several questions:
What relevant and specific training and education have they received?
What relevant degrees, credentials, and certifications do they hold?
Are they a member of an accrediting body?
Asking these questions will help ensure that a consultant has the proper training, education, and core competencies and that they abide by a code of ethics and standards.
