Human Resources: Challenges in Managing Talent
Discussion: Challenges in Managing Talent
Today’s workplace is a dramatically changed and still evolving world with all the accompanying challenges leaving many organizations struggling to create an employee experience that appeals to individuals with diverse needs, preferences, and assumptions while still meeting organizational demands. Organizations and their stakeholders are having to address a series of upending changes which impact nearly every facet of the organization, including talent disruptions such as layoffs, mergers, and turnover. Not only attracting but retaining employees at all levels to meet the ongoing needs of an organization is becoming an even larger challenge. When organizations lose sight of the real opportunity that actual talent management creates, i.e., strategic and deliberate strategies and actions to attract, select, train, develop, retain, and develop and promote employees throughout the organization, organizations are at risk.
