4. What is talent management?
Talent management has three components:
The full scope of HR processes: Talent management is about a
set of HR processes that integrate with each other. This means that
talent management activities are larger than the sum of the
individual parts. This also means that a talent management strategy
is required to capitalize on its full potential.
Attract, develop, motivate and retain: This is not a
comprehensive list. Talent management touches on all key HR
areas, from hiring to employee on boarding and from performance
management to retention.
High-performing employees: The purpose of talent management
is to increase performance. It aims to motivate, engage, and retain
employees to make them perform better. This is why the
importance of talent management is so significant.

5. When it’s done right, companies can build a sustainable
competitive advantage and outperform their competition
through an integrated system of talent management
practices that are hard to copy and/or imitate.

6. Talent may be defined as the inherent ability of an
individual to do a particular task in a particular way.
Talent management incorporates attracting, retaining
and developing the talent pool available to an
organization in association with the other functions of
management. Competence, capability and talents are
human assets of organizations.
Talent management is a systematic process of identifying,
assessing, developing and retaining people with critical
knowledge, skills and competencies.

7. Talent = Competence × Commitment × Contribution
C = competence :- able to do the work means the
knowledge, skills, and values that individuals require
for today’s and tomorrow’s jobs.
C = commitment :- means the level of employee
engagement is when employees work on time, work
hard and do what is expected of them.
C = contribution :- finding meaning & purpose in work.

8. Why is talent management important?
Businesses that take the time to develop their employees
and keep them engaged tend to be innovative and profitable.
Conversely, those that are unable to source or retain talent
generally have poor customer satisfaction and limited
growth potential.
What are some key components of talent management?
Building the kind of talent strategy that drives an
organization forward generally requires employers to:
Align talent goals with larger business objectives
Fulfill employee expectations and deliver on hiring
promises
Rely on data to make better workforce decisions

9. Benefits of talent management
Employers who create a culture that empowers employees
to be their best may be able to:
 Recruit in-demand talent
Businesses become employers of choice and attract talent
organically by making their brand a central component of
their talent strategy.
 Minimize disruptions
Unexpected departures cause gaps in coverage, but with a
talent pipeline, it’s possible to fill open positions quickly
and keep operations running smoothy.

10.  Improve productivity
Continuous strengths-based coaching helps employees
develop skills and reach their full potential, thereby
increasing efficiency.
 Reduce costs
Retaining valued team members and keeping them
engaged is usually more cost effective than sourcing and
training new hires.
 Innovate
Talented teams are more likely to develop new methods
of problem solving and make the most of advancements
in technology.

27. Talent is a composite state made up of various
elements.
Talent is a set of unique abilities possessed by
individuals.
An Individual is said to be talented when he/she
possesses or acquires the following elements.
Skills, knowledge, intelligence, and experience
Ability to learn and grow
Judgment, attitude, character
Perseverance and self-motivation

28. Skill and Knowledge
Skill and knowledge both are the abilities of individuals.
Knowledge is information-based and skill is the ability to
perform a particular task in the required time frame.
Knowledge: It is the theoretical and practical understanding of any
subject. It provides the foundation to gain skills on any subject
or action. For example, an employee having good knowledge of
English language and grammar may not be able to speak in
good English, because communicating in English is a distinct
skill.
Skill: One can develop skills through experience, training, and
continuous effort. For example, an employee can develop
communication skills while continuously practicing and
communicating with colleagues or subordinates

29. TALENT KNOWLEDGE
A marked natural ability or skill. The fact of knowing about something;
general understanding or familiarity with
a subject, place, situation etc.
IS an innate understanding of the intricacies of
their field, and can produce something
impressive, even if they lack an ability at times to
explain it.
Knowledge, conversely, is
an understanding that is acquired through
study and experience.
talents break the rules, create, initiate, invent,
direct, and send—talents take initiative, they are
proactive.
Knowledge workers, in general, do not.
Knowledge workers take orders. They are
studious and obedient people.
Although talents, skills, and knowledge are each
important for building a strength, talent is always
the most important.
The reason is that your talents are innate
and cannot be acquired, unlike skills and
knowledge.
Knowledge and Talent both depend upon a very
important factor called Hard work.
If you really have high goals and if you really want
to achieve something than you must need to
work hard as Hard work beats talent when talent
doesn’t work hard.
Knowledge comes from hard work and
only talent can’t take you to the ladder of
success
So work hard , become knowledgeable
,be talented.
