Hoboken, NJ (
PRWEB) April 22, 2010 -- A British talent management firm, specializing in people strategy for multinationals, is setting up an office in Hoboken, New Jersey. Two of its senior Chartered I-O Psychologists will lead the operation, where they aim to support the talent management activities of the increasing numbers of companies competing on the global stage.
Lucy Povah, VP Consulting of
A&DC Inc, says, “Increasingly, US firms are capitalizing on the opportunities offered in the global economy. Multinationals need to ensure employees function effectively with the challenges of different cultures, aligning people strategy to business strategy.
“We work with a variety of global organizations, helping them to accurately and fairly assess and develop employees, whether they are working in their home market or in other parts of the world. It is essential that they work with organizational standards and local knowledge to ensure the right people are doing the right things, to meet the needs of the business.”
Kate Sobczak, VP Consulting, adds, “Equally, HR executives everywhere are managing the challenges of the weak economy. Talent management is an issue that changes shape dramatically with the times, and organizations need to be in the best possible position to ensure they have a head start as the outlook improves”.
A&DC has had a US presence for the past four years, establishing a market to sell its globally-used assessment center simulation products,
AC-EXS®. This increased investment enables its I-O psychologists to work directly with their US counterparts to provide consultancy support for talent management challenges. A&DC is a leading international HR consultancy specializing in helping organizations align people and business strategy. Global experience ensures it considers how the implementation of strategic and tactical level talent management solutions can support customers’ longer-term vision and direction.
Continuing strong growth of A&DC’s U.K. business, up by 27% over the last 12 months and requiring a 15% increase in the number of employees, has led the talent management consultancy to expand its global presence with this new office. The US investment plan was sparked by the increasing numbers of multinationals using A&DC’s behaviorally-focused talent management expertise.
Kate and Lucy presented their take on global assessment practices at the recent 25th annual SIOP conference in Atlanta and are also attending the HRPS Global Conference in San Diego. They can be contacted at 866-651-1791 or
