Summary

Enable full organisational calibration using the 9‑box grid, with the ability to view, filter, and adjust colleague placements across an entire business unit before final sign-off.

Problem to solve

Today, calibration is still fragmented. While Teamflect supports review calibration and filtering at a population level, there is no simple way to bring together a full business unit view in a single, interactive 9‑box grid and run a true leadership calibration session.

This limits HR and leadership teams from getting a clear, consistent, and fair view of talent across functions, which is the core purpose of 9‑box calibration sessions.

Why this matters

The 9‑box grid is a widely used framework to map colleagues against performance and potential, giving leaders a visual view of their talent and supporting succession and development decisions.

Calibration sessions are designed to align ratings across managers and reduce bias by enabling collective discussion and adjustments before outcomes are finalised.

Without a true end-to-end experience in the tool, organisations have to revert to offline workarounds, which reduces impact and consistency.

Proposed capability

Ability to select all colleagues within a business unit, regardless of reporting lines

Include multiple organisational layers (3–4 levels) in a single grid

Provide a true organisational talent snapshot, not just direct reports

Display all selected colleagues on a single interactive 9‑box grid

Allow drag-and-drop movement between boxes

Changes held in a draft calibration state before final sign-off

Support real-time adjustments during discussion

Enable HR and leaders to run live calibration meetings within Teamflect

Provide a shared, visual workspace for discussion and alignment

Ensure all changes are tracked and auditable

Filter by:

Function / department

Job level

Location

Any user attribute already available in Teamflect

Allow easy exclusion of leadership team members to focus on wider talent pools when needed

Example use case

As an HR leader:

I select a full business unit

I sit with the Business Unit Director and their leadership team

We review all colleagues across multiple layers on a single 9‑box grid

We adjust placements live, based on collective discussion

We finalise ratings only after alignment is achieved

Impact

Creates a single source of truth for talent calibration

Improves fairness and consistency of ratings across teams

Enables better succession and development planning

Eliminates manual offline calibration processes

Positions Teamflect as a true end-to-end talent management solution, not just a review tool

Why this is a game changer

This moves Teamflect from supporting calibration to enabling full organisational talent reviews, which is where the real value sits for HR and leadership teams.
