Talent Management

Figure 01: What is Talent Management in HR (Pavlou, n.d)

The whole range of HR practices used to attract, onboard, develop, motivate, and retain high-performing individuals is referred to as talent management. The goal of talent management is to improve business performance by implementing methods that increase employee productivity. (Vulpen, n.d)

Talent management is a collection of HR processes that work together. As a result, talent management operations are more than the sum of their parts. This also implies that, in order to realize its full potential, a talent management strategy is essential. (Vulpen, n.d)

From hiring to onboarding, performance management to retention, talent management touches on all essential HR aspects. (Vulpen, n.d)

How is HRP connected to talent management?

Human resource planning (HRP) enables a company to better maintain and target the proper kind of talent to hire, ensuring that they have the technical and soft skills necessary to perform their job effectively. It also enables managers to effectively train and improve the workforce's required abilities. (Hayes, 2022)

Talent Management Framework

The Talent Management Framework (TMF) is a dynamic strategy to intentionally and systematically identifying, developing, and supporting individuals with high leadership potential - from teachers to experienced system leaders. (Lucas, n.d)

Benefits of Talent Management for Companies

Better Recruiting - There is still fierce competition for qualified candidates in certain roles and businesses. Communication breakdowns with quality prospects—as well as a lack of tools to move the best candidates through the process—have an influence on your ability to hire the best people. An agile recruiting process requires processes and technologies that aid in workforce planning, sourcing, applicant monitoring, and analytics. Recruiting software allows businesses to keep track of and organize applicants, as well as understand where they are in the recruiting process. It allows recruiters to find and monitor prospects who applied through several employment portals, as well as collect feedback on those applications in a simple manner. Holliday (2021)

Increased diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) - DE&I provides a strategic and financial edge to businesses, and it's becoming a top priority for job seekers. Holliday (2021)

Deeper Employee Engagement - Employee engagement is boosted by good onboarding, learning, and development processes. Holliday (2021)

Minimize Attrition - Turnover metrics are crucial because they reveal a variety of flaws across the talent management process. By being able to view, for example, turnover by manager, demographic trends, and more, talent management systems assist in collecting and making it simple to track and analyze data that will point to causes of attrition. Holliday (2021)

Better succession planning - Senior managers frequently possess specific knowledge that is crucial to the successful completion of key business activities. Without a codified mechanism for passing this information, the company could be in serious trouble, thus succession planning is essential. A people management system can aid succession planning by visualizing bench strength (workers ready and eager to take on advanced responsibilities), mapping skills to available positions, identifying areas where requirements will emerge, and more. Holliday (2021)



Benefits of Talent Management for Employees

Better onboarding experience - Onboarding should not begin and conclude with a PowerPoint slide because it is the employee's first true impression of life with the organization. By including mentors and exposing the new recruit to key individuals in other departments, organizations that regard onboarding as an important component of the talent management process make onboarding personalized and engaging. It has a significant impact on personnel. Holliday (2021)

More opportunities for training and reskilling - Training programs that are effective help to recruit the top individuals. After being employed, training programs can assist employees progress their careers, which is especially crucial for more experienced professionals. Holliday (2021)

Career advancement - Employees are more involved in their work and remain with the organization longer when training and development opportunities are linked to performance goals. Employees may easily track their goals and be matched with the correct chances to help them advance in their careers using talent management tools. Holliday (2021)

Improved performance management - Talent management software can assist firms in transitioning to dynamic performance management, in which managers and employees receive more open and ongoing feedback. Holliday (2021)

Employee experience - All of these techniques work together to improve the entire employee experience, which is an employee's overall feelings toward a company that decides whether or not they want to have a deeper relationship with it. Holliday (2021)


The Bottom Line

The purpose of talent management is to improve productivity. Its goal is to improve employee performance by motivating, engaging, and retaining people. This is why talent management is so crucial. When done correctly, an integrated system of personnel management methods that are difficult to copy and/or imitate can help firms gain a sustained competitive edge and outperform their competition. (Vulpen, n.d)
