Zarządzanie talentami

Employers are always on the lookout for talented individuals who will help grow the business, but it often seems like they are in short supply. This article explains how companies should approach talent management and provides the nuts and bolts of creating a talent management system that will attract and optimise the hotshots.

Wind back the clock to 1997 when the term ‘talent war’ first appeared courtesy of McKinsey & Company, as a result of three extensive research studies into 27 leading companies including General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, Johnson and Johnson and Symantec. The concept was explored at length by the same authors, Ed Michaels, Helen Handfield-Jones and Beth Axelrod, in The War for Talent, released in 2001. In the book, they contended that the war on talent began in the 1980s as the industrial age morphed into the information age and talent became the critical driver of corporate performance and, the only differentiating factor.
