Challenges in Managing Talent
In today’s workplace, most organizations are struggling to create an employee experience that appeals to individuals with diverse needs, preferences, and assumptions. Attracting and retaining enough employees at all levels to meet the needs of an organization should be a top priority. Some research has shown that employees who are happy in their jobs are often more productive and innovative.
Challenges often occur, however, when organizations lose sight of the functions of talent management, which are strategic and deliberate in how to attract, select, train, develop, retain, promote, and move employees throughout the organization. When organizations are facing high levels of turnover, it should be clear that changes need to be made to the talent management function.
