Founder of Nala and the 9-Box Talent Matrix: "It is a visual tool that greatly aids decision-making"

In the webinar held in conjunction with the Mexican company Worky, María Fernanda Castillo, cofounder of Nala, explained why the challenges of today's work world require agile talent management.

Lengthy processes that fail to keep pace with organizational growth, large teams, and difficulty in seeing which decisions are best for companies are part of what led María Fernanda Castillo (Mafe) to conceive Nala, a SaaS platform that maximizes talent retention.

With more than 15 years of experience in human resources at global companies, Mafe realized that talent management in the current context requires agility. After learning from many experiences, the conclusion she and the other founder and current CEO of the startup, Ximena Paul, reached was that it is not enough to simply digitize existing processes.

“Talent management has to be something agile, that can connect with what is driving the business, that this becomes a priority, that they understand that if we really want the business to grow, to be productive, we have to invest in talent management, in our people, and this is where we will truly enter that virtuous circle of those great companies that are an incredible place to work and also continue growing their profits,” Mafe stated in the webinar “9-Box Talent Matrix,” held in conjunction with the Mexican company Worky, a Nala partner that digitizes people management through Human Resources and Payroll software.

Thus was born Nala’s mission and objective: How to maximize talent retention in an agile, simple, and fast way for companies.

9-Box



Nala’s platform, through data collection and the use of advanced analytics, automatically generates the 9-Box, where data from employees is constantly gathered and shows where each employee is today, as well as historical data.

"It is a visual tool that greatly aids decision-making because it quickly focuses me on what should be my priorities," said the company’s CPO as well.

Once the 9-Box is managed, the platform generates development recommendations both for leaders and employees. In this way, the goal is to improve talent management, retain talent and prevent its loss, thereby achieving greater employee engagement and higher productivity for the company.
