A 2005
talent management survey published by the Society for
Human Resource Management contains some interesting
challenges for organization leaders.
According
to Human Resource professionals, the top four areas of
improvement for their organizations’ talent management
programs are:
-
ÚEncouraging
career growth and development opportunities
-
ÚIdentifying
gaps in employee competency levels
-
ÚCreating
a culture that made employees want to stay with the
organization
-
ÚBuilding
a deeper reservoir of successors at every level
What can be done to address these
needs? We must recognize that leadership is the # 1
productivity tool available to business today.
Resources
applied to strengthen organization leaders can create
development opportunities, improve retention and create
successors through coaching
and mentoring high-potential employees.
These activities can take on many shapes
and forms and the reward to the high-potential employee
can pay huge dividends.
