COURSE OVERVIEW:

Talent management is the science of using strategic human resource planning to improve business value and to make it possible for companies and organisations to reach their goals.

Everything done to recruit, retain, develop, reward and make people perform forms a part of talent management as well as strategic workforce planning. A talent management strategy should link to business strategy to function more appropriately.

Talent Management is an overarching term used to describe an organisation's commitment to fostering as well as maximising the potential and performance of their workforce.

Talent Management serves to enable organisations by providing an identification, developmental and retention based framework to apply to individual employees who are considered of value to that organisation.

Performed well, Talent Management offers companies a strategic toolkit for attracting, nurturing and deploying talented individuals that is ideally also measurable. A robust Talent Management strategy customised to meet the needs of an organisation can offer competitive advantage.

The first part of this course shows why talent is critical in today’s organisation. It explores the forces driving the importance of talent and presents a system approach to talent management.

The second part explains why retention continues to be a serious problem, even in times of economic ups and downs. It explores the negative impact of retention on both organisations and on individuals, including what’s driving the persistent retention issue. Then it dispels some of the myths of turnover and explains why this should be tackled immediately as a strategic issue in organisations.
