For talent, opportunity knocks

Posted by admin in Managing people on Wed, 30/06/2010 - 18:30

Talent management programmes contribute to staff engagement because personnel believe such schemes help prepare them for future roles and speed up career progression, according to a leading HR body.

But employees that do not take part in such initiatives are no less happy with their organisation and take no more pride in it than the chosen few. These are the findings of study undertaken among 300 staff and senior leaders involved in talent management initiatives undertaken by Capgemini Consulting on behalf of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).

The report entitled ‘The Talent Perspective: What Does it Feel Like to be Talent Managed’ indicated that 81% of respondents felt such programmes made them feel more engaged at work.

The main reason for wanting to take part, cited by 84% of those questioned, was the belief that such activities would be of use to them in future. Just over half also hoped that they would help them progress up the company career ladder more quickly.

Editor's Welcome

 

Hello! And welcome back as we enter 2012, with a busy year ahead of us all. With talk of double-dip recessions, a possible partial or even full break-up of the Eurozone and unemployment rates set to hit nearly 9%, topics such as organisational streamlining, staff resilience and talent management are likely to be on many an HR professional's lips over the next 12 months.
 
But to lighten the gloom here in the UK, we also have the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and its attendant public holidays to look forward to at the start of June. Followed by two weeks of Olympic Games from 27 July to 12 August and the Paralympics from 29 August to 9 September, each generating their own excitement, but also issues to work through for hard-pressed HR departments trying to sort out the multifarious staffing issues in advance.
 
So with an interesting but challenging year to come, HRZone promises to be with you, supporting you all the way and providing our usual insightful blend of news, analysis, community blogs and expert comment to help you sort the wheat from the chaff. As ever, we love to hear from you too so feel free to either post your words of wisdom to our blog section yourself or, in the case of longer, more in-depth ‘expert voice’ articles, drop me a line with any ideas to cath.everett@siftmedia.co.uk.....
