Are You Failing In Talent Management?

Corporations face a myriad of pressing issues, from competitive threats to risk management, debt to the regulatory environment, but a recent comprehensive survey by Harvard Business Review, of over 1,000 board members around the globe, found that a corporations single greatest strategic challenge is talent management.

The survey, conducted in partnership with WomenCorporateDirectors and Heidrick & Struggles, rated nine dimensions of talent management: attracting top talent; hiring top talent; assessing talent; developing talent; rewarding talent; retaining talent; firing; aligning talent strategy with business strategy; and leveraging workforce diversity.

Although the survey identified that talent management is now top of mind, most organizations gave themselves a failing grade.

Lou Adler, Author of Hire with Your Head, offers 8 tips to improve your organization's talent management score in his recent blog post, "Why HR Gets an 'F' in Talent and How to Get an 'A'"

1.) develop a talent acquisition strategy, that is understood, supported, and tracked

2.) include performance measures for how well a manager improves their team

3.) increase management input into hiring decisions

4.) recognize different approaches are necessary depending on scarcity of talent for a position

5.) workforce planning expands the view 2-3 quarters ahead

6.) quality of hire is the primary metric, not speed or low cost

7.) hire the best person available, not the best person who applied - involve a skilled recruiter

8.) offer career opportunities - make sure you communicate this in the job description
