Talent Maze

Abstract

While Organizations today face a major challenge of attrition, it is becoming equally important to identify, nurture and retain talent. Organizational culture primarily needs to address these issues. While it's an accepted fact that, human resource in general, talented human resources in particular in an organization result in its distinctive competitiveness. The systems and structure in an organization has to support and encourage the existing talented human resources. Quite often it is apparent that the longevity of employment in an organization leads to employee loyalty where as various other factors play a major role to ensure the same. At various levels of organization it is the top management's responsibility to imbibe the philosophy of talent management across its length and breadth. Though HRM practices primarily aim at “right person at the right place”, quite frequently in organizations it is defocused either as “the right person at wrong place” or “wrong person at right place”. Talent Maze, the case study addresses the lacunae in Talent Management practices in an age old organization and their implications on the human talent thus providing an insight to the reader in to the right practices to be followed in talent management.
