The Essentials of Talent Management
Talent Management: What is it? • Alignment of employees with business priorities to deliver greater performance and results • Keeping “the end in mind”: performance management, competency, leadership development, and succession planning • As agencies strive to meet strategic goals, they must ensure that they have a continuous process for recruiting, training, managing, supporting, and compensating their employees
What’s Driving the Current Emphasis on Talent Management? • The context in which we do business is more complex and more competitive • Employee expectations are changing with a desire for work-life balance and meaningful jobs • “The War on Talent”: workforce demographics are evolving as retirees leave • Emerging technologies are changing the employee competencies needed in organizations
Evolution of Talent Management • Personnel Department – 1970s-80s role of HR served more of a business function in hiring people, paying them, and making sure they had necessary benefits. • Strategic HR – 1980s-90s HR had larger role of a business partner reaching out to support lines in recruiting, training, and communicating for employees. • Talent Management – Today’s HR functions are becoming integrated with the business with a focus on management processes.

A Focus on Key Talent Issues Rather than focusing just on recruiting and retaining talent, talent savvy organizations support their employees on issues they care about most: • Doing work that engages them • Encountering fresh challenges • The number one reason employees leave comes down to their relationship with their boss; therefore, organizations should focus on examining the deployment and development of the supervisors tasked with leading others Wall, James and Ainar Aijala. “It’s 2008: Do You Know Where your Talent Is?” Deloitte Research Series, 2004

Developing Employees: Learning • “Develop”: Providing real-life learning employees need to master a job.

Retaining Employees • The average cost to replace an employee is one and half times her average salary. New candidates can take a year or more to master their jobs. • Common retention approaches look at turnover rates, but turnover does not measure people’s commitment to a company. When jobs are scarce, it is easy to retain a non-committed workforce. Wall, James and Ainar Aijala. “It’s 2008: Do You Know Where your Talent Is?” Deloitte Research Series, 2004
