This document provides an introduction and instructions for using a 9 box grid as a talent management tool. The 9 box grid assesses employees on two criteria - performance and potential - to categorize them into 9 boxes representing different profiles. It can be used to evaluate performance, determine who to promote, retain, or reallocate. The document outlines how to create a 9 box grid by assessing performance and potential separately, then combining them. It defines each of the 9 profiles in terms of characteristics, impact on the organization, and how they should be managed. Case studies and activities are referenced but not included.

Introduction to the
9 BOX GRID
The 9 box grid is a talent management tool that provides framework to help
manage all employees in the organization. This is a very helpful when
assessing employee performance and potential.
The main goal of this tool is to categorize employees, determine which to
promote, retain and invest in, and which to reallocate. This matrix is also often
used to deliver performance evaluations, indicating to employees where they
fit in the scheme of things, and what would be required of them to move
about the matrix.

5. There are (3) three steps to go through when thinking about creating a 9 BOX GRID.
First is to Assess Performance. The nine-box grid is composed of three performance categories such as low,
moderate, high. These categories can be extracted from the employees score during the performance
review or appraisal. Next is to Assess Potential. The other component of this tool is potential - which is also
categorize into three such as: 1) Low Potential - Employee is working at full potential and is not expected to
improve, probably because they're at the maximum capacity or maybe because of a lack of motivation. 2)
Moderate Potential - Employee has the potential to further develop within their current role in terms of
performance or expertise. 3) High Potential - Employee is eligible for promotion, either immediately, or within
two to three years. Lastly, combine it together plotting performance and potential on a 3x3 grid resulting
the 9 BOX GRID.

performers but they do a good enough job not

not pay off and sometimes they provide
ambiguous results that will impact the
operations negatively.
