As a talent manager, consider this as your responsibility to focus on the present. Instead of making development programs as your only objective, you must also take other aspects into consideration. Eliminating the blocker and appointing one of the top potentials is a must. Appoint one of your biggest talents as Chief Digital Officer; Give teams of high potentials responsibility for the development of new markets; Don’t hesitate to put your best people on the most important jobs.
From a standard to an individual approach
Stop making assumptions about the needs and wants of the employees. Also, stop putting them under the categories of high potentials, middle management, and older employees. They should be treated in a way that they enjoy working. An individual approach is very important. The capabilities, wants, and development requirement must be identified. Start designing opportunities according to this.
A talent pool
Create a large talent pool to include them in other departments (suppliers, partners, alumni, self-employed professionals, etc) in the future. This will save you time in focusing too much on developing and retaining talent. Your strategies should not ignore the objectives and goals of the company.
Performance Consulting
HR talent management should take this aspect seriously. Help people to become better by giving them feedback. Assess the performance of the average performing individuals and help them improve in their weak areas with the help of training programs. Make them work on these areas so that they are always connected to the goals of the company.
More focus on teams
It is important to discover talent management strategies and not limit them towards the welfare of the individuals only. Teams build an organization and the development of teams must be considered vital. Teams should be given more importance. If teams get developed, an organization grows.
The talent experience is important
Employee experience is matters a lot. It has to be nice as people post photos on social media platforms and positive experiences better the employer branding. Do you actually create an environment for the individuals that make them click photographs and make them share? A great talent experience can prove fruitful to the company.
