OVERVIEW
Line managers are taking on duties that once belonged to human resources. Responsibility for talent management is shifting from HR to frontline executives. This transition is mostly driven as a measure for cost cutting. Research by CEB also show that when line managers rather than HR managers are responsible for recruiting the former are 29% more successful at those tasks.

PROBLEM 1 WHAT ARE OUR TALENT NEEDS?

Issues faced: The first problem facing managers thinking about talent is the quality of information at their disposal. Which schools/recruiters/rival firms provide the best employees for the job? What are the cost of a vacant position or underused workers? What are the performance differences between you and your employees?

PROBLEM 2: HOW SHOULD WE MEET OUR TALENT NEEDS?

Issues faced:

PROBLEM 3: HOW CAN WE DO A BETTER JOB OF HIRING

Issues faced:

PROBLEM 4: HOW CAN WE DEVELOP INTERNAL TALENT

Issues faced: Are external hires reliant? Are the companies grooming their hired employees enough? Is a tuition environment for grooming employees an effective strategy? Should the employees have technical skills or should they undergo training?

PROBLEM 5: HOW CAN WE MANAGE EMPLOYEES CAREER PATHS?

Issues faced: What is the best way to retain valued employees in a company? Is it realistic to promise employees a clear career path or is it uncertain? Is it a workload to focus on talent management in the short run?
