Overview of Talent Management

In brief, Talent Management is all about acquiring, sustaining, and retaining talent in your organization.

Understanding Talent Management

Talent management refers to the skills of attracting highly skilled workers, integrating new workers, and developing and retaining current workers to meet current and future business objectives. Talent management in this context does not refer to the management of entertainers. Companies engaging in a talent management strategy shift the responsibility of employees from the human resources department to all managers throughout the organization. The process of attracting and retaining profitable employees, as it is increasingly more competitive between firms and of strategic importance, has come to be known as "the war for talent." Talent management is also known as HCM (Human Capital Management).

The Basic Definition of Talent Management

The basic definition of Talent Management is getting the right people with the right skills into the right jobs, which is the fundamental people management challenge in organizations. While the focus of talent management tends to be on management and executive positions, the issues apply to all jobs that are hard to fill.

A New Approach to Talent Management

We need a new way of thinking about the talent management challenge. A new framework for talent management must begin by being clear about the goal. Talent management is not an end in itself. It is not about developing employees or creating succession plans. Nor is it about achieving specific benchmarks like a five percent turnover rate, having the most educated workforce, or any other tactical outcome. The goal of talent management is the much more general but important task of helping the organization achieve its overall objectives. In the business world, that objective is to make money.
