Excellence in Talent Management 2012

Over the past decade, HR has moved away from being a solely administrative function to play a more strategic role.

The emergence of the knowledge economy and supportive technologies has helped HR to drive that change, as has the realisation that the speed of change in the business world demands that organisations respond quickly with appropriately trained staff. This requires a more decisive approach to people management, enabling HR professionals to move beyond tactical training programs and ad hoc recruitment to focus on the strategic maximisation of talent.

According to a PwC Survey (24/02/2011), 83% of the 1,200 CEOs surveyed globally plan to change their firm’s Talent Management strategy over the next 12 months. This means that talent is now more important to business leaders than risk and investment.
