Sustainable Talent Management
In order for organizations to meet the growing demands of business sustainability and maintain a competitive advantage over the competition, businesses are encouraged to take a hard look at their talent pool (Urlaub, 2011). This process aims to retain employees and foster their continuing development of skills and competencies to achieve the organization’s immediate performance goals and long-term strategic objectives. This often requires managers to incorporate a wide variety of perspectives in their talent appraisals. The ability for an organization to identify, select, develop, and retain highly valued skill sets can set a company apart. Talent Management Strategy is defined as an organizations commitment to recruit, retain, and develop the most talented and superior employees available in the job market through goal-setting, performance management, assessment, compensation management, learning, career planning and succession planning processes.
