The Evolution Of The Talent Landscape

Talent management metrics link human capital investment to financial performance. According to management gurus Huselid, Becker and Beatty 2005, there are critical challenges to successful workforce measurement and management. Talent management metrics are evolving. As organizations increasingly focus on talent management strategies, they seek ways to validate these initiatives and measure their business impact. Many firms are beginning to include talent management in their dashboards or scorecards. Scorecards provide a clear “line of sight” to organizational strategic goals by linking talent management to objectives and performance appraisals. Measures may include factors such as employee survey results and turnover. Companies also create their own measurements to fit their organizational cultures. Increasingly, talent management technology to house and track talent management strategies is becoming available. Databases with all relevant data in one location can result in significant time savings for staffing, such as the ability to quickly identify talent for open positions. Some vendors include talent management solutions in their HR suites. Strategic talent management software may help manage workforce

According to Winston & Gallagher (2014), a ManpowerGroup report shows that 36% of managers in all industries are reporting a major shortage of the talent pool and have come up with several ideas on how to correct this issue.

If you've been following this site for a while you will already know that here I try to help people learn how to play guitar in the most effective way, providing software tools and insights on correct practice and how to maximizing outcome.

Rona Borre's Chicago-based Instant Alliance is the staff augmentation firm that prides itself on making exceptional matches. Boore excels at discovering technology or finance talent who are an ideal fit for her clients's organizational cultural.

The topic I chose to research and discuss is the topic of recruiting and retaining the best employees. I chose this subject because I felt it was important for an employer trying to compete in this very competitive business environment, no matter what the business is, to be able not only hire the best and most qualified employees but retain them and keep them motivated. The ability to distinguish the difference between high performing employees and lower performing employees can be detrimental to a company’s success or failure. In retrospect, this goes back to recruiting and retaining the best employees while avoiding and being able to let go of those of a weaker caliber. Before an organization can thrive in recruitment and retention,

Talent Management is broadly defined as the process of ‘recruiting, managing, assessing, developing and maintaining’ a workforce (Khatri and Gupta et al., 2010). It is a practice that is directly related to the preservation and safeguarding of a company’s competitive advantage, a competitive advantage that is provided by an almost inimitable and increasingly scarce resource, talented people (Collings and Mellahi, 2009). In 1982 the Brookings Institution found that 62 per cent of average company value was credited to physical assets (equipment and facilities) and only 38 per cent to intangible assets (patents, intellectual property, brand, and, most of all, people), by 2003, these percentages had changed dramatically, with 80 per cent of value attributable to intangible assets and 20 per cent to tangible assets (Wellins, Smith, Erker, 2012). These figures provide compelling evidence for the significance of talent management and its ability to drive company performance.

Small businesses are the biggest employers in the United States and are therefore faced with the challenge of attracting and retaining the best talents. Since the economy is recovering from the recession, most workers who had held on to jobs they do not like are beginning to look for other opportunities. At the same time, both large and small businesses are increasingly on the search for top talent among the job seekers and also among employees who are not looking for jobs.

When asked about having any problems with employees being underqualified, Jennifer, a service manager in a popular restaurant chain, shared that one in six people she interviews are qualified for the job. She also shared that of the staff she currently has; she considers thirty percent of them to be underqualified for the jobs they are performing (Personal Communication, November 16, 2016). This is not an uncommon predicament for business managers to be in. Many managers are experiencing this same problem of a larger number of underqualified workers, which is known as the war on talent. The purpose of this essay is to analyze and explain how the war on talent has negatively impacted business management as well as how businesses are attempting to counteract this negative impact.

Talent management grew to be recognized in the 90s, but can be traced to the 1950s and 1960s in the form of three management theories namely: Chris Argyris’ theory of personality and the organization; Frederick Herzberg’s two factor theory; as well as David McClelland’s concept of achievement and orientation theory.
