Talent Management is an approach to optimizing human resources, which enables our organizations to drive short and long-term results by building culture, engagement, and capability through the integration of major processes such as classification and compensation, talent acquisition, performance management, workforce and succession planning, learning and development, to ensure processes are aligned to enterprise business goals.
