“How to Develop a Talent Management Strategy” is Module 2 of a four part professional development webinar series entitledTalent Management for Workplace Learning Professionals.  One module per month will be presented through April 2012.

Talent Management for Workplace Learning Professionals was designed by the Greater Atlanta ASTD Professional Development Committee.  It is specifically for learning and performance improvement professionals.  The goal is to build capabilities around the important role that the Learning function has as a part of the overall strategic talent management process.

How to Develop a Talent Management Strategy

ASTD and i4cp conducted a study on Talent Management Practices and Opportunities and after careful identification of the variables comprising talent management, defined talent management strategy in this way:

·         A holistic approach to optimizing human capital, which enables an organization to drive short- and long-term results by building culture, engagement, capability, and capacity through integrated talent acquisition, development, and deployment processes that are aligned to business goals.

Your talent strategy should work at least as hard as you do.  In fact, it should make your life easier by doing at least two things for you and your organization:

  • Align everyone in your organization to your business strategy
  • Underscore your mission of creating an environment where people can learn, develop and receive recognition for their efforts

In this type of environment, people are in the right roles, they are engaged and can learn and develop.   Workplace learning and development professionals and managers need to know how to identify and focus your efforts on the right people-priorities for your organization.

Learning Objectives

1)     Learn how to align your organization’s talent strategy to your business strategy

 

2)     Learn how to create an environment where people can learn, develop and receive recognition for their efforts

 

3)     Understand how to identify and focus your efforts on the right people-priorities for your organization

Talent Management for Workplace Learning Professionals was driven in part by the ASTD Research Report: Learning’s Critical Role in Integrated Talent Management. The report reveals how important it is for learning professionals to be knowledgeable about strategic talent management and the role that learning professionals play.  It also describes how poorly most learning professionals are educated and prepared for what is required for them in today’s environment.
