What is Talent Management?

There is an old decision dilemma adage: If your best efforts don’t fundamentally change the issue for you, you have defined the issue incorrectly. For many organizations, meeting their talent management (TM) needs has been problematical. We at Tekara would suggest you consider how you are framing TM as a root cause.

The industry standard:

For many, TM is described in terms of successfully recruiting and retaining top caliber people. As described by a recent Wikipedia TM description:

"… the process of developing and integrating new workers, developing and retaining current workers, and attracting highly skilled workers to work for your company."

Is this your organization’s TM description? Why is this a problematic description of TM?
The strategy objective description embodies the implementation strategy for satisfying your talent needs – staffing. Why is this problematic? Because, it makes it more difficult to seek out and consider superior talent securing and utilization strategies.
