“Talent Management” secures the organization’s future.
"Talent management deserves as much focus as financial capital management in corporations." - Jack Welch
Talent management
means putting in place processes to: attract, identify, develop, engage, keep
and deploy individuals valuable to an organization. To be effective, it needs
to align with strategic business objectives. Strategic talent management has
several benefits: it builds a high-performance workplace; it fosters a learning
climate; it adds value to the employer brand, and it improves diversity. (CIPD)
TALENT MANAGEMENT
DEFINED
Talent management is the process of ensuring that the organization has the talented people it needs to attain its business goals. It involves the strategic management of the flow of talent through an organization by creating and maintaining a talent pipeline (Armstrong and Taylor, 2014).
HUMAN RESOURCES
PLANNING
Human resource planning is the process by which members of the HR department identify current and future hiring or training needs. The purpose of human resource planning is to make sure that a business has the right type of talent spread throughout its departments.
Human resource planning also aims to help businesses figure out what areas their company lacks in terms of employment and what strategic steps they need to complete to achieve those talent areas at their company (Indeed Editorial Team ,2023).
THE TALENT
MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Talent management
starts with the business strategy and what it signifies in terms of the future demand
for talented people. Ultimately, the aim is to develop and maintain a pool of
talented people through the talent pipeline, which consists of the processes of
resourcing, career planning and talent development that maintain the flow of
talent needed by the organization. (Armstrong
and Taylor, 2014).
HOW EFFECTIVE IS
TALENT MANAGEMENT IN SECURING THE ORGANIZATION'S FUTURE?

approach to managing talent in an organization will have more compelling
benefits for the organization. In the future, work and jobs will present many
