Executives and HR management have always been focused on basic talent management—acquiring, hiring and retaining talented employees. But, to drive optimal levels of success, business leaders need engaged, high-performing employees. The key to inciting a workforce to greatness is to align your talent management with company strategy, define consistent leadership criteria across all functional areas, and identify specific competencies (analytical, technical, education, experience) to cultivate for continuing growth. Everything done to recruit, retain, develop, reward and get people to engage, forms a part of a company’s talent management strategy. As the focus is on the achievement of business goals there is an inseparable link to the business strategy.
