Talent Management: Strategies from Six Leading Companies (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

In the world of constantly shrinking talent-pools, managing your organization’s talent is a top priority. Too often, companies become stuck in inaction trying to determine a best practice to emulate. Here, for the first time, written specifically for human resource practitioners, is the definitive guide to the discipline of talent management (TM). Case studies contributed by six leading companies—CISCO, McDonalds, Avon, Liberty Mutual Group, Ciena, and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta—illustrate that sustained business success is achieved by implementing proven practices that bring talent management to life and competitive advantage to companies. Each case study focuses on management’s role as well as the impact of TM processes and practices on business outcomes. Industry analysts provide additional commentary, and a top leader at the BBC offers an international perspective.
