Employee Talent Management
Talent management is one of the primary management tools for 21st century human asset management because the significant
resource for firms competing in this century is no longer land, capital and other tangible assets but the human capital necessary to
adapt organizations to global competition and maximize the benefits associated with the current technological boom. (Cappelli, 2008)
Talent management is an espoused and enacted commitment to implementing an
integrated, strategic and technology enabled approach to human resource management (HRM). This
commitment stems in part from the widely shared belief that human resources are the organization’s
primary source of competitive advantage; an essential asset that is becoming in increasingly short
supply. The benefits of an effectively implemented talent management strategy include improved
employee recruitment and retention rates, and enhanced employee engagement. These outcomes in
turn have been associated with improved operational and financial performance. The external and
internal drivers and restraints for talent management are many. Of particular importance is senior
management understanding and commitment.
Practical implications.(Hughes and Rog, 2008)
According to Vijay Kumar et. al. (2012) Indian software industries face crises on various retention and attrition strategies of
talented workers. The authors examine the phenomenon if employee retention in the IT sector can help the organization in the
sector to retain their valuable talented employees. The human resource department has to play a vital role is designing the policies,
practices and strategies which can enable an organization to retain the human resources contributing significantly to the business.
Eric et al. (2012) studied how employees regard the importance of their empowerment, equity of compensation, job design
through training and expectancy toward effective performance management on their retention. It is found that training and
development, appraisal system, compensation are significant to employee retention except employee empowerment.
The Talent Management Program (TMP) variable was found to be a significant predictor of employee value
proposition (EVP). This implies that TMP is a vital creativity of human skill that can facilitate EVP for the
employees of Malaysian banks. The fact that EVP in this model has mediated partially with TMP indicates that
TMP will predispose bank employees in Malaysian banks to have an effective EVP, which can avoid them to have
the intention to leave; hence reducing the rising turnover among professionals and talented young bankers.
Moreover, by proposing and developing Talent Management Crisis Model, the Malaysian banking industry could
manage well against the risks brought about by the intention to leave and/or continued dissatisfaction for not having
the ability to exit the work place early. In this way, not only will the status symbol of banks’ employees continue to
leap and sustain, this will also lead to a balanced emotional and work-life for them amid competitive and rapid
changing environment and technology. (Tajuddin et al.,2015)
Conclusion
Talent management is an important process in a organization, it is a constant process that involves attracting and retaining high-quality employees, developing their skills, and continuously motivating them to improve their performance.
