Talent Management
What Is It?
Talent management goes beyond basic day-to-day management tasks. In today’s competitive talent market, talent management is about leaders throughout the organization taking accountability for all aspects of the employee lifecycle. Talent leadership accountability encompasses hiring, on-boarding, developing, managing, challenging, promoting, motivating – and more. When done well, it ensures that the right employees are in the right jobs with the skills and motivation to succeed.
Many managers view talent management as the responsibility of their Human Resources department. And while HR does play an important role, it is up to individual managers to be involved at a deeper level with their employees. For example, when sourcing an open position, whose job is it to scope the job requirements, interview the candidate and ensure the selected candidate is successfully oriented to the position and company? HR can provide processes and resources to assist, but as talent leaders, managers have that accountability.
To be successful, managers must fully understand and embrace their role as talent leaders in the areas of:
• Attracting employees
• Retaining employees
• Transitioning employees
To be effective in today’s challenging marketplace, managers must embrace talent management holistically. When organizations encourage and reward their leaders to address all phases of an employee’s life cycle—taking action to attract, retain, and transition the best employees —they realize big payoffs. From the top down, leaders manage their talent with a “build for the future” mind-set and employee actions are aligned to strategies and expectations.
