Why you should read Talent Management

Retaining talent in today’s increasingly competitive business environment is one of the biggest challenges that organizations face. Keeping prized employees happy takes a lot more than money. People want their jobs to matter. They want to work for companies that share their goals and ethics. The eight essays that make up this entry in the excellent Harvard Business Review management series illustrate the symbiotic relationship between talent management and corporate prosperity. Growth and success require a formalized system that stimulates, rewards and encourages skilled employees. Numerous examples throughout this tightly written book also demonstrate the value of planning. getAbstract applauds the way this collection analyzes talent management. It is an impressive addition to a respected set of business anthologies.
