“We know how to identify the right people, and Kaplan knows how to unlock their potential”

The announcement comes at a time when many businesses are struggling with staffing issues during the pandemic, bringing both talent assessment and talent development to the top of their agenda. Human resources professionals are facing many new challenges, not only in identifying the right people, but retaining and developing their own talent.

Aon’s suite of assessments places it at the cutting edge of digital diagnostics that produce rich data and insight. But data and insight is only half the story, according to Andrew Perkins, Global Director of KPA. “It’s rather like having a fitness assessment at the gym. It’s a great place to start, but what can I do now? What can I achieve? Who can help me?” said Perkins.

“For both Aon and Kaplan,” Perkins continued, “human potential lies at the heart of what we offer our clients. Aon helps clients see that potential, while Kaplan helps clients develop it. The combination of our respective experiences and expertise to offer clients an end-to-end solution makes for an exciting prospect for both companies and our clients.”
