Reinventing Talent Management: Principles and Practices for the New World of Work (1st Ed.)

Due to the fluid nature of work, many talent-management principles and practices now being used in organizations are obsolete. Globalization, technological advances, automation, the diversification of the workforce, the push for sustainable practices, and the increasing pace of transformation have wrought dramatic changes-and, yet, a recent study showed that from 1995 to 2013 there was no significant growth in the way HR spends its time. What used to be best practices with respect to how people are recruited, selected, trained, assigned, developed, rewarded, and evaluated no longer fit. Today's hierarchical, bureaucratic talent management needs to become agile, strategic, and performance-based. This book identifies a comprehensive, integrated set of talent practices that fit the changing workplace and that will dramatically improve the effectiveness of organizations.
