...Stansfield College _ Singapore Literature Review _ HR502 Strategic Human Resource Management (PGDM Unit) Talent Management Shawn Tkatch March 2012 Program: MBA – VUN (Jan-Apr 2012 Term) Lecturer : Juhi Ranjan INTRODUCTION In 1997 a group of McKinsey consultants coined the phrase a “War for Talent” which refers to an organizations effort to improve strategies, policies and practices for the attraction, development, deployment and retention of talent for their business. This brings about the need to understand precisely what the organization requires and to determine the actual and potential talents required of the employees. David Whitwan, former CEO of Whirlpool Corporation stated “The thing that wakes me up in the middle of the night is not the economy or competitors; it is whether we have the leadership capability”. This statement reveals the challenges that organizations face in the new knowledge economy. Developing and retaining good and talented people has become a significant challenge for most businesses, big or small. In the 21st century, talent is being defined as the new wealth. In today’s business, most organizations are talent poachers opposed to talent developers within their existing employee workforce. Once talent is identified, companies use anything and everything to lure that talent to the organization in order to gain the competitive edge. A Harvard Business Review article from January, 2000 explains...

Without them, organization cannot run business and definitely unable to achieve its goal that has been set.

...A Talent Management Strategy Formulate a talent management strategy to encompass the entire talent requirements of the organization. When discussing and planning your organization’s future, it’s important to consider not just the goals, objectives, and initiatives, but clearly how to accomplish them. The most important contributor is undoubtedly your employees. Aligning the organization’s business strategy with its employees is called talent management, and it encompasses aligning the right employee with the right position in the organization. Talent management is a business strategy and must be fully incorporated within all of the employee connected practices of the organization. Retaining and attracting talented employees, in a talent management system, is the responsibility of every tier of management in the organization, but especially the Human Resource managers who are in charge of hiring, training, and development. A successful talent management strategy also engages in the practice of sharing data about high profiled employees and their employment history and accomplishments to all divisions of the organization. This process of sharing openness makes it possible for a range of departments to recognize available talent when opportunities open and become available. The charting of people’s skills and strengths enable the organization to appraise the manpower that is not being utilized properly and to its highest potential. This is critical from the standpoint...

Talent management is a process by which an organization identify, attract, manage, utilize, retain, develop and engage people to meet current and future needs (Mucha, 2004). Business need to understand and respond to their employees needs in the workplace. The completion to acquire talented workforce become more strategic than ever before. Companies in today’s talent market faces a curious paradox In both economic downturn as well as at the height of a boom. Effective talent management is essential to achieving organizational excellence. If a firm cannot keep its talent, it will be buffeted by the storms of recession or in highs of a boom, it will fail to maximize competitive edge. The ability to execute business strategy is rotted in the ability to find, attract, retain, and develop key talent. Talent management strategy needs both performance and potential. Performance is about looking back on what has been done and what was contributed and it is measured against specific objectives. Performance may or may not be an indicator of potential. Potential is about looking forward and predicting what an employee may be capable of doing in the future. It is assessed by a joint combination of observations, assessments and discussions (Mucha, 2004). Although pay and benefits...

...effectively, succession planning can prepare the company for expansion and organizational reform for new opportunities to help build your company for success. Why Should Businesses Use Succession Planning? Succession planning is a logical way for businesses to prepare for the future. Eventhough many employees think of succession planning as, who is going to take over the business? Succession planning is much more than just the changeover of ownership. Businesses must prepare to develop and interchange key employees and staff and anticipate and plan for the impacts that any transition in ownership could have. When succession planning is effectively executed, companies experience a smooth transition (Simoneaux & Stroud, 2013, p. 63). The best way to achieve this is for the company to choose an effective leader to step in. The reason being is that an effective leader can make sense of a weak business plan. Utilizing a compatible talent management program, the company can return a vibrant business model. Companies need leadership development programs focused on hiring strategies, employee development,...

...challenge as business strategist to work out a plan with their hospital to recruit and retain talented physicians. In 2006, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) requested an increase of 30 for U.S. medical school enrollment and for growth within Graduate Medical Education (GME) positions. Even a request of such measure would not solve the problem with physician shortage. Assistance from international countries like Canada with a surplus of physician is welcomed; however as a country we cannot depend on other national to resolve United States physician shortage. It is predicted that we will have a “shortage of 85,000 to 200,000 physicians in 2020 unless action is taken soon to increase the number from 25,000 physicians who graduate from United States medical schools annually. Also “shortage of physicians in rural areas will present an even greater challenge than for metropolitan areas, as fewer and fewer physicians” entering the medical profession is choosing a rural location for their practice. (Stanley, 2009) Problem Statement Physician supply is decreasing at a time when the demand for quality healthcare along with the number of aging patients is increasing. Hospitals and health care organizations are experiencing an increase in physician attrition rates that is expected to grow through 2020. How do you attract and retain talented physicians?

...1.0 INTRODUCTION What is Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM)? According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (2015), strategic human resource management (strategic HRM, or SHRM) is an approach to managing human resources that supports long-term business goals and outcomes with a strategic framework. The approach emphases on longer-term people issues, matching resources to future needs as well as macro-concerns about structure, quality, culture, values and commitment. It is necessarily dependent on the evolving nature of work itself. As mentioned by Stone (2013), because human resource management (HRM) seeks to strategically integrate the interests of an organisation and its employees, it is much more than a set of activities relating to the coordination of an organisation’s human resources. HRM is a major contributor to the success of an enterprise because it is in a key position ‘to affect customers, business results and ultimately shareholder value’. Stated by Gratton (2000), ‘The new sources of sustainable competitive advantage available to organisations have people at the centre – their creativity and talent, their inspirations and hopes, their dreams and excitement. The companies that flourish in this decade will do so because they are able to provide meaning and purpose, a context and frame that encourages individual potential to flourish and grow’. Stone (2013) mentioned that HRM is either part of the problem or part of the solution in...

...Pay for Performance: It’s Effect on Employee Motivation Name Course Title Professor’s Name Date Pay for Performance: The Effect on Employee Motivation Managers are continuously looking for ways to motivate their employees. Many methods have been tried and many methods have failed. Consequentially, human resource professionals and managers continue to work to develop effective performance management systems which serve to motivate employees, with an end result of improved morale and increased productivity. Designing an effective performance management program, combined with the appropriate compensation methods, can serve as tools to inspire and motivate employees to improve and/or maintain the highest levels of performance. Compensation administrators are encouraging the use of pay-for-performance plans to meet this goal. Pay-for-performance plans motivate employees to be productive and perform at higher levels by linking their pay directly to their pay. The idea behind pay-for-performance plans is that money serves to motivate employees to perform. Maslow’s theory of motivation “suggests that employee needs are arranged in priority order such that lower-order needs must be satisfied before higher-order needs become motivating” (Leonard, 2010, p. 121) with the lowest level of needs being basic biological needs and the highest level being self-fulfillment. When an individual is on the lower levels of the spectrum and trying to fulfill his/her basic...
