Talent management strategy template

Transform your talent programs to create value for your people and your business

In today's business environment, talent management isn't a nice-to-have; it's a requirement. According to research from Bersin & Associates, companies with highly effective talent management strategies, on average, achieve 26 percent higher revenue per employee and 41 percent lower turnover among high-performing employees.* And according to The Hackett Group, companies excelling in talent management can increase earnings by nearly 15 percent.**

Establishing a talent management strategy, and executing it, is not an easy task, but definitely, one that will deliver benefits to both HR and your organization overall.

And while developing and implementing a talent strategy can seem daunting, sticking with an outdated approach to talent management just to avoid change isn't exactly a sound business strategy.

Create a high-performance culture with effective talent management

Unfortunately, many HR groups struggle with formulating a talent management strategy that maps out their goals and priorities for the year and ties these to their organization's strategic plan and goals.

The reasons why are varied, but without a talent management strategy and plan, the results are usually the same: the HR team is not seen as playing a strategic role in their organization by the C-suite, and talent management activities aren't given the organizational importance they should have.

So how do you create a successful talent management strategy that engages employees, improves performance, elevates HR's role in the business, and drives bottom-line results?
