Talent Management
Talent management is the strategic process of attracting, developing, retaining, and optimising employees to meet an organisation’s goals. It encompasses a wide range of activities, from recruiting top talent to nurturing their skills, managing their performance, and ensuring they are engaged and motivated to contribute to the company’s success.
In simple terms, talent management is about making sure the right people are in the right roles, and that they have what they need to thrive and grow within the organisation.
