Talent Management Take-Aways according to getAbstract:

  • Talent management isn't a job just for the human resources department anymore.
  • Everyone in the organization should be involved, from executives to salesclerks.
  • As the workforce ages, the talent pool is shrinking.
  • Thus, organizations face an even greater need for comprehensive talent management, ideally starting from the top.
  • Customize talent plans and strategies to fit your company and your industry.
  • Integrate your talent needs with your business goals. Separating them will jeopardize both.
  • Learn from six companies that excel in talent management: Cisco Systems, McDonald's, Avon Products, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Ciena and Liberty Mutual Group.
  • Leaders' transparency, honesty and commitment ease workers' resistance to change.
  • Don't be afraid to revamp long-established systems, like performance evaluations.
  • Take advantage of new technology but keep your methods simple and focused.
