Your most talented employees are also the most attractive to be poached by your competitors. Utilising clear and transparent career pathways and development plans can help to keep your most talented employees engaged with your organisation, and drive development.

An important ingredient of your Talent Strategy is the identification of your future leaders and bench strength. Your business leaders are not going to be around forever, therefore it is important to identify and invest in your future leaders so that you can either grow your future leaders from within or identify gaps where external resource is required.

An effective Learning and Development strategy works alongside your Talent Strategy to develop not only your future leaders but also your manager capability and workforce to achieve your business objectives.
