Talent Management

Some signs indicating that you need to pay more attention to talent management are:

• There is no proper system for identifying and developing talent across the business
• Senior managers tend to hold onto their most talented people, rather than identifying the best development opportunities for them
• You don’t know who your most talented people are
• Talent management is seen as an HR issue
• There are a number of senior managers in key positions who are coming up for retirement and their successors have not yet been identified
• You don’t think you are getting the best from all employees and some minorities are under-represented at management levels
• You are losing too many of your best people
• Leavers cite lack of stretching development opportunities as one reason for moving on
• There is too much mediocre performance across the business
• You struggle to recruit people with the level of skills and aspiration that you seek.
