this interesting survey about the value corporations are putting on the collection of methodologies called "talent management".
According to the 2006 Talent Management Initiatives Survey, conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management, more than 75% of human resource (HR) professionals surveyed state that talent management initiatives are a top priority for their organization.
I am pleased to know more companies are looking to seriously develop long-term employee retention systems--not just lip service.
Talent areas identified as having the greatest need for improvement include: creating a deeper reservoir of successors at each level; creating a culture that retains employees; decreasing existing gaps in employees' competency levels.
It remains to be seen if these initiatives will make it out of HR and actually into the mainstream of the company. Let us hope so!
