HR and Talent Management

Talent is a core ingredient for all organizations and a necessity for success. Today, talent management is regarded not just as a business issue but also as a social issue. Organizations need to understand how to attract and retain talented people in a world of increasing competition.

In new reality, companies seek to hire and retain the most valuable and qualified employees. Moreover, effective talent is becoming an increasingly scarce resource compared to the past, where people needed companies and jobs were scarce.

Talent management utilizes human resources to improve business value. The aim of talent management is to bring talent into the organization, develop it, and adapt skills to meet organizational objectives.

The talent management process includes four steps: entry, retention, development, and performance. It is important to have a deep understanding of each of these steps to ensure the achievement of maximum organizational performance.

Managers need to communicate the importance of talent management to create an effective talent management strategy. Alignment, Capabilities, and Engagement (ACE) are key to maximizing the value contribution of your people to your most critical organizational goals. These factors contribute to both organizational and individual success and help connect value, strategy, and people.

The following trends are the most important in talent management:

  1. Shift to talent management. Organizational leaders are shifting from strategic human resource management to talent management.
  2. Scarcity of talent. Talented employees are becoming an increasingly scarce resource and are much more demanding today. Considering this, organizations must understand all aspects and technologies of the talent management process to ensure they can attract and retain talented people.
  3. Intrinsic rewards over extrinsic rewards. Intrinsic rewards and self-satisfaction are becoming more essential to employees than extrinsic rewards such as pay and bonuses. Organizations must have a clear and fair compensation system that directly aligns with employees’ performance. Moreover, employees today value recognition, respect, feedback, a healthy work environment, and opportunities to learn and grow far more than simple cash rewards.
  4. Escalation of the war for talent. The war for talent has escalated in today’s reality. The problem of turnover and employee loyalty is especially acute. A good manager must be able to identify and select the right talents and retain them for the long term within the company.
