TALENT MANAGEMENT & BENIFITS

Talent Management can be explained as managing the ability, competency and power of employees within an organization. The concept is not restricted to recruiting the right candidate at the right time but it extends to exploring the hidden and unusual qualities of the employees and developing and nurturing them to get the desired results.

In evident to the recent article of Collings and Mellahi (2009) focus on ‘the development of a talent pool of high potential and high performing incumbents’ who can fill the key positions in the organization and help to deliver ‘sustainable competitive advantage.


Talent Management in organizations is not just limited to attracting the best people from the industry but it is a continuous process that involves sourcing, hiring, developing, retaining and promoting employees while meeting the organization’s requirements simultaneously.

Significant of Talent Management

  • Understanding Employees skills and talent better
  • Better professional development within the organization
  • Establishing a high-performance workforce
  • Attracting individuals with high potential and retaining them through proper training and refreshment

  • Proper time management, as untrained and unskilled workforce lead to wastage of time and commitment of errors, which is not cost-effective
  • Retain talented and high-performing employees
  • Ensuring growth and innovation in the organization
  • Developing skills and competencies in employees

Part from this having a strong talent management culture also determines how organization rate their organizations as work places. In addition, if employees are positive about the talent management practices of the organization, they are more likely to have confidence in the future of their organization. The resultant is a workforce that is more committed and engaged determined to outperform their competitors and ensure a leadership position in the market for their organization.

  • New employees cost the company 30-60 % more than the existing employee in terms of compensation only.
  • There is an additional cost incurred on training and developing the new individual.
  • The process of recruitments itself costs an organization in a big way, right from advertising a post, to attracting talent and finally short listing and hiring someone for the job.

Conclusion

Talent is the most important factor that drives an organization and takes it to a higher level, and therefore, can not be compromised at all. It won’t be exaggerating saying talent management as a never-ending war for talent.
