TALENT INCLUDED

Talent Strategy
and Planning

Future-proof your workforce with an inclusive, business-aligned talent strategy that drives growth, resilience, and performance.

Why most talent strategies fail

Most organisations invest heavily in talent, but their systems don’t deliver the workforce they need for tomorrow.

Common pitfalls include:

Succession plans that replicate bias and limit diversity of thought

EVP and culture out of sync, undermining attraction and retention

Siloed ownership across HR, Talent Acquisition, and L&D

Weak adaptability to AI, automation, and skills disruption

The result? A workforce that looks busy but isn’t built for resilience, innovation, or sustained performance.

Testimonials

Our Success Stories

“Sally actively listened to my personal story and has been very supportive during the hiring process. She also helped me navigate the paperwork needed after the final interview. I can feel diversity and inclusion of talent is genuinely important to Talent Included and it’s great to see that given the fast-changing environment that companies are facing”.

Delphine,

“I can’t recommend Sally highly enough. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside her as a coach, and more recently she has supported me in securing my new role. She is warm, approachable, and highly professional. She took the time to really understand me and what I was looking for in my next position”.

Sharon, S

“I can't recommend Sally enough! She was so supportive and encouraging to work with on finding my next role. She was very informed and professional, having great communication with both me and the client. As can be challenging with recruiting, she always made me feel she was available and reliable. I found my next role through her and it would've been so much more stressful without her. Thanks for making the process so positive and I hope you get to work with her on your next role!”

Christina, M

“Natalie has been incredibly supportive throughout my job search. Her exceptional knowledge, professionalism, and coaching skills have been invaluable. I would gladly work with Natalie again and highly recommend her.”

Jenny, O

“My experience of Talent Included has been without a doubt one of the best I've had with any recruitment company. The personal touch and consideration for what I align to personally is important to me. I trust Sally and Natalie to ensure that my next career goal will be fulfilled but also that it is supportive who I am morally”.

Marcel, DJ

“Given the current work climate Natalie has been a major help to me. Finding new roles, interview prep I can’t thank her enough, I only wish I had met her sooner”!
