DESCRIPTION
The 9 Box Grid, sometimes referred to as the 9 Box Talent Grid, is a talent management tool that categorizes employees into nine groups based on their performance and potential. When evaluating employee performance, employers should be mindful of two key aspects: first, the current value of each employee, and second, their potential value in the future. The 9 Box Grid assists in determining the growth potential of employees.
