Introduction to Talent Management By Dr Kiran Kakade
WHAT IS TALENT MANAGEMENT ? TALENT: Talent consists of those individuals who can make a difference to organizational performance either through their immediate contribution or, in the longer-term, by demonstrating the highest levels of potential . TALENT MANAGEMENT Talent management is the systematic attraction, identification, development, engagement, retention and deployment of those individuals who are of particular value to an organization, either in view of their ‘high potential’ for the future or because they are fulfilling business/operation-critical roles
INTRODUCTION The term was coined by McKinsey & Company following a 1997 study. The profession that supports talent management became increasingly formalized in the early 2000s. Talent management seeks to attract, identify, develop, engage, retain and deploy individuals who are considered particularly valuable to an organization. It should align with business goals and strategic objectives. By managing talent strategically , organizations can build a high performance workplace, encourage a ‘learning’ organization, add value to their employer brand, and improve diversity management. Talent management is defined as the methodically organized, strategic process of getting the right talent onboard and helping them grow to their optimal capabilities keeping organizational objectives in mind.

EXPANSION OF TALENT MANAGEMENT TERM Talent management was once solely associated with recruitment but has in recent years evolved into a common and essential management practice, covering many areas such as organizational capability, workforce and succession planning, individual performance and development.
FEATURES OF TALENT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY A clearly defined and communicated corporate strategy will pave the way for a talent management strategy closely aligned to business objectives. Creating a talent management strategy starts with workforce planning , a process of analyzing the current workforce and capability to determine future workforce needs. Workforce planning is a process of analyzing the current workforce, determining future workforce needs, identifying the gap between the present and the future, and implementing solutions so that an organization can accomplish its mission, goals, and strategic plan. It’s about getting the right number of people with the right skills employed in the right place at the right time, at the right cost and on the right contract to deliver an organization's short and long-term objectives.
The workforce plan will determine appropriate talent management activities and typically include: recruitment (talent acquisition) building talent 'pools‘ succession planning life-long learning leadership development career management deployment performance management employee engagement employee retention.
INCLUSIVE VERSUS EXCLUSIVE APPROACHES Some organizations develop an exclusive focus, segmenting talent according to need , that is, the talent management process relates specifically to key or high-potential individuals. A recent trend has seen organizations adopt a more inclusive approach creating a ‘whole workforce’ focus on engagement and talent development. Often a blended approach is used in practice, with attention paid to the engagement and development of all employees, but with special focus given to a particular core group or groups of employees.
INVOLVING THE RIGHT PEOPLE It’s important to include the right stakeholders in developing the talent management strategy and associated activities. Senior leaders and managers need to be actively involved in the whole talent management process and make recruitment, succession planning, ongoing development, and retention of key employees their top priority
Focusing on Talent Management Loop There are six main areas of the talent management loop: attraction, identification, development, engagement, retention and deployment. Attracting talent Identifying talent Developing talent Engaging talent Retaining talent Deploying talent
Tracking and evaluating Talent Management Evaluating talent management is difficult, but necessary to ensure that the investment is meeting organizational needs. It requires both quantitative and qualitative data that is valid, reliable and robust. One method could involve the collation of employee turnover and retention data for key groups such as senior management post-holders or those who have participated in talent management programmed.
