TALENT

‘Talent signals an ability to learn and develop in the face of new challenges. Talent is about future

potential rather than past track record. So talent tends to be measured in terms of having certain attributes, such as a willingness to take risks and

learn from mistakes, a reasonable (but not too high) level of ambition and competitiveness, the ability to

focus on ‘big picture’ issues, and an awareness of their own strengths, limitations and impact on

others…’

According to McKinsey Talent is the sum of • a person’s abilities, • his or her intrinsic gifts, • skills, knowledge, experience , • intelligence, • judgment, attitude, character, drive, • his or her ability to learn and grow

TALENT MANAGEMENT

‘Talent management is the process of ensuring that the organization attracts, retains, motivates and develops the talented people it needs.’

A conscious, deliberate approach undertaken to attract, develop and retain people with the aptitude and abilities to meet current and future organizational needs. Talent management involves individual and organizational development in response to a changing and complex operating environment.

Talent management model• There are different approaches to talent management

in organizations• A successful TM model has to link

1. TM creed (culture, values, expectations) with2. TM strategy and 3. TM system. (Lance and Dorothy Berger, 2011)

The values, expectations and elements of – the desired culture and – the business excellence

should be embedded in HR systems as selection criteria, competency definitions, performance and promotion criteria and development processes

TALENT=COMPETENCE+COMMITMENT+CONTRIBUTION• Being competent is not only enough to be a talent• The competent person should be committed to the

causes and goals of the organization• And should be able and willing to contribute to the

success of the organizationSo, developing your talent is not enough, the

organizations need to take all the measures to motivate, reward their talent pool to gain their commitment and contribution.

Just as Customer Acquisition describes the overall strategic process around identifying market sectors, targeting client prospects, running direct marketing campaigns, selling and receiving the order (i.e. acquiring a new customer), so Talent Acquisition involves all the sub-processes around finding, attracting and engaging highly talented individuals into your organization. Hence TML's Talent Acquisition involves the planning, sourcing, assessing, hiring and on-boarding of top talent. Strategic Talent Acquisition takes a long-term view of not only filling positions today, but also using the candidates that come out of a recruiting campaign as a means to fill similar positions in the future. In the most enlightened cases of Strategic Talent Acquisition, we help clients to recruit today for positions that do not even exist today but are expected to become available in the future.

Create Your Own Cloud “Gather a small group of leaders

together and ask these questions. You know more than you realize and will find a lot of agreement.

?

• What do your organization’s turnover patterns tell you?

• How can you describe the reputation your management teams have?

• What feedback have you received from employees that might tell you more about why they stay or go and grow or stagnate?

• What are a few of the reasons employees rank their workplaces as the best?

• Does your organization have qualities that are similar to highly ranked workplaces?

• Next, build out the cloud. Don’t simply create a list of what impacts retention; craft a guide that will help you improve your organization’s business practices. Each piece within your cloud should be explained so that leaders and employees know how to build and reinforce strengths, solve problems, and remove barriers.

• “Move from cloud to system. Share the contents of the cloud with your team, facilitate discussion, and select a focused list of opportunities, initiatives, or projects that have the greatest potential for improving retention and growth. Implement what you’ve learned.”
