Talent Management
61% of organizations
have a talent
management
department or talent
acquisition section.
20% of organizations
need more talent
(deficient).
Talent Management is a Shared Responsibility
• Talent management starts at the top, with
leadership from CEOs and other executives
who set the tone for how employees are
recruited, developed, and retained.
• Human resources (HR) departments are then
responsible for talent management processes
and procedures, such as coordinating hiring
practices and overseeing the training of new
hires, ongoing performance reviews, and ad hoc
feedback. There is no one set of best practices
because each organization needs to develop
the culture that is right for them.
Talent Pool
• Identify talent pool or put all available
candidates that are capable stepping
up in a higher level.
• Candidates that are proactive,
attentive, motivated and fulfilled

• Planning for both the
foreseen and unexpected
absences of people who hold
key roles in an organization is
a task that we as employers
often avoid or engage in only
in an informal manner.

• Succession planning is a mean of
identifying critical management
position, starting at a level of
project manager and supervisor
and extending up to the highest
position in the organization.
• Find talent for specific role
Viability and Continuity
• A key position is a position that is
critical to the viability and continuity of a
cooperative .
• Identifying key positions takes a holistic
approach and needs the input of key
stakeholders regarding the critical
KSAOs (knowledge, skills, ability,
outcomes), current and future
competency gpd and environmental
scanning to identify opportunities and
obstacles.
Vulnerability vs. Critically
• Vulnerability – vision is associated with strategies.
Can we cover the jobs on a S-M-L range? Revisit OS
(in case of merger/consolidation/division/
expansion/joint venture)
• Do you consciously meet the needs of the
organization? If no means high vulnerability.
• Validate eligibility of successor.
• Push for transparency, objectivity, honesty. Otherwise,
the employee you want to get rid of are the same
people you hired.
• Make a process flow of the selection process
• Consider the readiness and willingness of the
successor thru informal interviews.
