Talent Management
An integrated approach to recruiting, developing, retaining, and engaging employees. Effective talent management aligns workforce capabilities with business goals.
Talent management is the comprehensive approach to attracting, developing, retaining, and engaging employees to maximise their potential and align their contributions with business goals. It covers the entire employee lifecycle — from hiring to career development and succession planning.
In India, where competition for skilled professionals is intense, talent management is key to reducing attrition, building leadership pipelines, and maintaining a motivated workforce. Industries like IT, BFSI, healthcare, and manufacturing rely heavily on structured talent management strategies to remain competitive.
