Download Reinventing Talent Management: Principles and Practices for the New World of Work AudioBook Free
Edward Lawler is one of the world's most eminent organizational scholars. In this new booklet he identifies a comprehensive and integrated set of talent management procedures that fit today's rapidly evolving workplace. The world of work has altered substantially, says Lawler. Organizations now operate in a worldwide environment. New technologies continue steadily to disrupt how, when, and where work is performed and really should be maintained. The workforce is now more diverse. Sustainability has joined profitability as an integral business goal. All this has significantly accelerated the rate of change, making recruiting the best talent - not simply filling positions - an overriding matter. But too many organizations still use a job-based, bureaucratic talent-management way that doesn't take into account the way the world has altered. Indeed, a recently available study demonstrated that from 1995 to 2016, there was no significant change in the manner HR spends its time. Lawler says that talent management must be reinvented. It needs to be closely linked to the organization's overall strategy. Recruitment and talent management should be driven by the abilities and competencies the business needs for long-term progress. This implies talent management requires agile systems that can answer quickly to changing conditions and that take a more individualized method of evaluating and rewarding performance. And everything talent management does must be based on proof, not tradition. Lawler talks about attracting, selecting, producing, rewarding, managing, and organizing talent through this new zoom lens. In today's world, organizations have to constantly reinvent themselves - and talent management should do the same.
