CHAPTER ONE

Introduction

1.1 Background of the study

The ultimate goal of every business organization is to increase the sale of goods and service that it deals in and to increase profit in order to achieve its laid down goals and objectives.

These can be achieved if organizations employ the right skilled labour on the right job at the right time by managing their talent (Cappelli, 2009) As noted in (Douglas & Jay 2007) most organization don’t have the required talent to develop lucrative business opportunity and so they loss out.

Organization must ensure that employees of choice are endowed with the skills required for the job; this will help organization perform effectively and efficiently. Talent management is the capability to create and continuously optimize the talent resources needed to execute a business strategy (Talent Management Research, 2009).

Talent Management when implemented effectively result in great changes in the performance and productivity of organization

(Capelli, 2008), Talent management is simply a matter of anticipating the need for human capital and then setting out plan to meet it.(Capelli, 2008); Talent Management concerns the additional management processes that are made available to employees in the organization who are considered to be ‘‘talented’’. This means systematically attracting, identifying, developing, engaging, retaining, and deploying those individuals with high potentials who are of a particular value to the organization (Blass, 2007)

Talent Management is the main duty of the Human Resource Manager but over the years senior and line managers now engage in managing talent.

As noted by (Gunter, 2011) successful companies know that talent management needs broad ownership.

Talent Management process include recruiting, succession planning, leadership development and retention of key employees. The importance of talent management has been increasing rapidly over the few past years.

The roles of talent management on organizational performance are:

  1. Alignment with strategy
