Talent management is not just another human resource key-term. It is a commitment to hire, manage, develop, and retain the most talented and excellent employees in the industry. A consistent and focused approach to managing intellectual capital within the organization has a positive impact on the business. Talent management plays an important role in the business strategy since it manages one of the important assets of the company—its people.

Why Do Organizations Need to Invest in Talent Management?

Attract Top-Talent: It creates an employer brand that could attract potential talent.

Retain Top Talent: Well-structured on-boarding practices create higher levels of retention.

Employee Motivation: Having a strategic talent management strategy helps organizations keep its employees motivated which, in turn, increases business performance.

Filling Critical Roles: Effective talent management ensures that there will be a continuous flow of employees to fill critical roles.

Client Satisfaction: Strategic and systematic planning means there is a consistent approach to management. When systems are more integrated, client satisfaction rates are usually higher.

What is the Role of a Team Manager in Talent Management, and the Relevance of the same?

The major difference between the organizations that use Human Capital Management or Performance Management is their focus on the managers’ role. Practitioners of Talent Management give their managers a substantial role and responsibility in the entire recruitment process. These managers also have a significant role in the ongoing development and retention of leadership roles. Majority of the work systems are completely in the hands of the employee's manager.

This does not mean that the role of HR is eliminated. The main responsibility is of the HR team- to provide support, training, backup, and to also take the lead in the hire to exit process. HR is also deeply involved in the performance management system, career planning, and so forth. However, the team managers are the means to execute the above-mentioned activities.

How to Integrate Talent Management in Your Organization?

As an effective talent management strategy, a talented employee and his/her potential must be identified and shared across the organization. This creates awareness and it becomes easier to identify available talent whenever the opportunity arises. It ensures that the best talent is already trained and is ready to take charge of the higher position. Succession planning not only benefits the employees and it benefits the organization in the longer run.

Talent management is a business strategy that should be fully integrated within the organization. Attracting and retaining talented employees is essential for organizations’ overall growth.
