At the beginning of every startup, the challenge of keeping a team engaged without the help of a Human Resources (HR) department is immense for any entrepreneur. With this in mind, Talent Academy, an HRTech specialized in people management and organizational culture, developed a solution to meet the specific and tailored needs of small businesses.
With a team of human resources management experts, the company aims to improve talent development, engagement, recruitment and retention, aligned with the unique demands and challenges faced by early-stage companies.
According toMauricio Betti, CEO and co-founder of Talent AcademyPeople management is one of the fundamental pillars for the success of startups. We understand that each startup has its own culture, challenges, and goals, which is why we develop tailored solutions. Our aim is to support business growth, ensuring they have the solid foundations necessary to achieve success. All of this considering their particularities.
According to Cortex, in a 2023 report, Brazil has 12,040 startups. Regarding size, 45% are micro, while 24% are small, 20% medium, and 11% large. 45% of them have up to 3 employees, and those with 4 to 50 employees represent 31%. Already those with 51 to over 5,000 specialists make up only 14% of the market. "Small startups still dominate the market, and with increasing competition for qualified talent, retention and employee engagement become significant challenges," comments theCEO.
Additionally, HRTech offers an online journey, profile mapping, experience management, and organizational culture, promoting the development of socio-emotional skills through workshops, mentoring, and other activities that combine theory and practice. "We believe that the personal and professional development of employees is essential for sustainable growth, especially for smaller businesses. Our approach aims to strengthen the internal culture, boost performance, and maximize team well-being, creating an environment conducive to expansion," emphasizesRenata Betti, CGO and co-founder of Talent Academy.
Performance evaluation is another key tool offered by Talent Academy, with 360°, 180°, and 90° models. It allows startups to gain a comprehensive view of their employees' performance and identify opportunities for improvement. The company also assists in the development of Individual Development Plans (IDP), accelerating professional growth and enhancing the skills of employees and managers.
