In particular, we will focus on the framework for the talent management which constitutes of five elements: attraction, selection, engaging, retention and development of employees. This strategy can be useful not only for recruitment and management of higher ranked employees but also for complete workforce.

Moreover, situation on the labour market is highly competitive, therefore asks for serious well-developed approach. In conclusion, old human resource management approach has not been suitable for the present economy, therefore we strongly recommend you to consider introducing more sophisticated strategy to tackle with present and future challenges that might and will arise on human resource frontier. ...
