Human Resources: Internal Talent – 4-6 Paragraphs

Discussion: Internal Talent

Talent management is often focused on building management and executive positions. Talent management should, however, build employees’ skills and knowledge at all levels. Building talent at all levels can contribute significantly to an organization’s success. Organizations are then able to place the right people in the right jobs in order to have the greatest impact on the organization. Although building talent often occurs informally, it may also occur formally through a systematic process. This can help ensure that when an employee leaves an organization, his or her successor will be able to move into the role with less difficulty.

For this Discussion, you will post a cohesive and scholarly response based on your readings and research this week that addresses the following:

What are some techniques you believe an organization may use to successfully build its high-potential talent internally?
What are the systematic processes involved in building this talent?
How might succession planning be managed?

Be sure to support your responses with references to the topic. APA Format
