Is your talent working for you?

Whether you recognize it or not, you’re already investing in talent management. The question is, are you getting what you want from your investment?

The answer requires looking at two perspectives. For an employer, talent management is understanding who you have and how you can make the most of them. For an employee, talent management is understanding what’s possible, what’s expected, and how to get there.

When planned and implemented in an integrated way, talent management yields signifi cant results.

For employers, these results can include higher earnings, greater net profi t, and increased returns from equity and assets. For employees, these results can include greater satisfaction, increased productivity, and a stronger intent to stay.

Simply put, integrated talent management is the key to making the most of your talent.

Talent management is the essential link between these two perspectives

recruiting, performance-based

coaching, and identifi cation

of key competencies are the

processes which drove greatest

business results. Organizations

which integrate and optimize

these processes can create a

high-performance culture, a

deep understanding of critical

of the best sources for

new talent.”
