Why talent management is important for an

organization?

1. Attract top talent: Recruit the most talented and skilled employees


available. When you have strategic talent management, you are able to
create an employer brand, which organically attracts your ideal talent, and
in turn, contributes to higher levels of business performance and results.

2. Continuous coverage of critical roles: an organisation will be prepared


for gaps in critical skills and have a plan to address the critical roles and
highly specialised roles in the workforce. This means that an organisation
will have a continuous flow of employees to fill critical roles, which
ensures operations run smoothly and your clients and stakeholders are
satisfied. It also means that other employees are not left with extra
workloads, which could eventually lead to burnout.

3. Increase employee performance: It is easier to identify ‘good fit’


employees, rather than making decisions in recruitment which do not
work towards the ideal organisational strategy.  This can lead to less
performance management issues and grievances. It will also ensure that
the top talent within the organisation stays longer.

4. Engaged employees: an organisation can make systematic and consistent


decisions about the development of staff, ensuring that the people you
require it have the skills and development necessary and saving money on
unnecessary development. Additionally, when there is a fair process for
development, employees feel more engaged and this again increases
retention rates and also ensures that the organisation can meet its
operational requirements.

5. Retain top talent: well-structured onboarding practices create 69%


higher levels of retention. This means that an organisation saves on
recruitment and performance management costs in the long run.
6. Improve business performance: when employees are engaged, skilled
and motivated, they will work towards your business goals, which in turn
increases client satisfaction and business performance.

7. Higher client satisfaction: a systematic approach to talent management


means that there is organisational wide integration and a consistent
approach to management. This, in turn, translates to general
communication and dissolving of silos within the business. When
systems are more integrated, client satisfaction rates are usually higher,
since they are dealing with fewer people and their needs are met faster.

Talent Management Model


1. Planning
Planning aligns your talent management model in line with the overall
goals of your organization. Only with the correct planning can you ensure
that you seek talent with the right skills and experience. In addition, it
assesses current employees to see what is working well for the company.
For instance, if employees with certain characteristics tend to stay at the
organization for longer, you should plan to hire more workers like them.

2. Attracting
It is not always as simple as when one person leaves the company, you
start a search for someone else to fill the role. For instance, your needs
may change or employees may take on new responsibilities. Talent
management ensures that you always have sufficient staff to carry out all
your operations and prevent heavy workloads that could cause
demotivation.

The right strategy will attract just the kind of workers you want at your
business. Such hires will be driven, skilled, and seeking to advance within
the company. Attracting talent is all about branding your company as an
employer. You’ll need to find ways to increase visibility in ways that
allow you to present company as a best place to work. The main
consideration here is to make your business more approachable.

Even if you choose not to hire someone for a particular position, you still
need to create a positive experience. This will give you the opportunity to
hire these candidates for other jobs or use them as ambassadors to acquire
other talent.

3. Developing
The development part of the model involves taking steps to help talent
grow within the company. It should be aligned with the employee
development plan and includes identifying roles where particular
employees could move to in the future as well as considering how to
expand workers’ skills and knowledge to fulfill new challenges facing
your organization.
Talent management also looks at what will keep employees at your
company enthusiastic and willing to go the extra mile. It is necessary to
provide employees with value. Motivation also requires the correct
onboarding — to give new hires a great impression of your company from
the very beginning. This will increase the chance that they stay with the
company and work hard.

4. Retaining
Another purpose of talent management is to keep people at your company
for longer. Employees need to continue feeling that the company is an
enjoyable, meaningful place to work. Through training and other types of
engagement, employees have the chance to create a career without leaving
the company. You may achieve this by focusing on compensation
(monetary and otherwise) as well as company culture.

5. Transitioning
After hiring and developing their skills, you need to plan for employees’
transitions. Your aim at this stage is to keep their knowledge within the
company — this is called knowledge management. You need to have a
plan in place to promote employees or move them to another role,
department, or office. If a worker does decide to leave, you need to know
why.
