Talent: Your greatest asset – and biggest challenge

 

Talent has moved to the top of the business agenda.

The real fuel and energy behind a company’s growth and success comes from its people – the human capital – and any plans to move your business forward have to start there. Businesses and organizations that place an emphasis on human capital by making sure they have the right people at the right time in the right place will be in a position to have a sustainable competitive advantage. Talent needs to be recognized as a strategic priority and managed with as much purpose as other organizational assets.

Yet talent management is a real challenge and is considered one of the most pressing issues businesses and organizations face today.  Shortages of skilled local workers and high-potential talent, compounded by the aging workforce, pose serious risk to an organization’s success.

So, how can you find the best person for the job? And, how do you manage the talent you already have to create a strong, sustainable and high performing culture?
