But when asked, they would be hard pressed to give a clear summary of what an effective talent strategy entails. Is talent management that much of a complex beast? At Let\u2019s Talk Talent, we don\u2019t think so. Put simply, it is about getting great people, and keeping great people. Organisations need the right team in order to deliver on their business objectives. With such a clear goal in sight, why are so many businesses struggling to design and roll out effective talent management initiatives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a talent management strategy?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand that this area of HR covers the entire employee lifecycle, from the first time people hear of you as a potential employer all the way to the day they leave. Talent management includes your onboarding programme, your employee\u2019s career development opportunities, performance review processes, succession planning, leadership assessment, coaching, and everything else to ensure your business has the right people in the right place, doing the right thing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst it could seem easy to tackle your entire talent strategy in one fell swoop, it can also feel overwhelming. Managing one area of talent management at a time is one thing. Trying to create and maintain joined-up programmes for all staff, no matter where they are on their journey with you is another. Here is a checklist to help you achieve just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-offwhite-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"months\">In this article you will learn:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#talent\">Get started with your talent management strategy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#audience\">Understand your audience<\/a>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#kpis\">Set up your talent management KPIs<\/a>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#communication\">Choose your communication channels<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#model\">Select the right talent management model<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#blocks\">Use all the talent management building blocks at your disposal<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand that this area of HR covers the entire employee lifecycle. Whilst this seems obvious and much easier to manage when viewed as a whole, it can also be overwhelming for those with more limited resources. Planning and managing one area of the talent management umbrella at a time is one thing. Trying to devise and maintain policies for staff\u2019s career development, onboarding and inducting, performance coaching, succession planning and executive assessment at all once, and as a consistent joined up experience, is slightly more daunting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"talent\"><strong>How do you get started with talent management? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you even begin and just like with any other business priority, the key is to take a step back and ensure you have a true understanding of the most important issue to address. Are you considering implementing a talent management strategy due to poor staff retention rates? Or do you think your next leaders do not have the tools needed to step up? Perhaps your staff feels diversity and inclusion needs a bigger focus? Your first steps into the talent management world will definitely be determined by the big question you are trying to answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"audience\"><strong>The audiences to consider in your talent management strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who cannot say with absolute clarity what the big question is, an audit may be required. Just like any other strategy, having a good understanding of the situation starts with identifying and surveying your main stakeholders. The Said Business School did just that and started with categorising its key players into six key categories, each with different skills, needs and purposes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The C-suite<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The leadership team<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The people managers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The talented many <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The future talents <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The wider community <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to see how each group would have varied, sometimes even conflicting, sets of requirements. But how do you go about finding out what each of these groups needs and wants from their employer? A great example is The Said Business School, whose HR team conducted a company-wide staff survey, which allowed the organisation to truly understand its employees\u2019 views of what constitutes a great place to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kpis\"><strong>Setting up talent management KPIs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before setting anything in motion, it\u2019s important to determine how you will measure the success of your talent management strategy. Before you get going, ask yourself: \u2018How will we know it worked?\u2019 Are you hoping to see lower churn rates? Or better retention amongst new starters? How can you measure staff wellbeing? Establishing measurable goals should be one of the first steps when considering a revamp of your talent management approach. No talent management initiative can be effective without regular review points and small, incremental adjustments along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The important thing is to keep going and course correct along the way, using the data and insights gathered.For more information on the right KPIs to use, have a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/blog\/the-ultimate-list-of-hr-metrics\/\">ultimate list of HR metrics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"communication\"><strong><strong>Choosing the right communication channels<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A great policy never lives in a drawer. Before rolling out any new initiatives, take a moment to audit the communications channels available to you. Which will have the most impact? How can you reach each of the audiences you\u2019ve identified previously? Make sure you also determine the most efficient ways for employees to provide feedback on the changes you are implementing as part of your talent management efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"model\"><strong><strong>Picking the right talent management model<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that the foundations are set, you should be in a great position to start your journey. Now, all that\u2019s left is to find the best way to reach your goal. Don\u2019t hesitate to be creative, and find new innovative methods to attract great people, and keep great people. Because when it comes to talent management, life is too short for beige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Internet is full of helpful frameworks and models to help organisations plan their approach to talent management. From the HR Agile methodology to the more traditional 9-box grid, these all have value. Whilst useful, models are just that: models. They exist to structure the thought process. But the real thinking needs to be uniquely yours. No one organisation is the same, so how could one winning framework possibly apply to all businesses? Realistically, it can\u2019t. Which is why we believe the best framework to use is the one that puts your organisation at its core. When it comes to talent management, nobody is leaving from the same place, and with the same people. Let\u2019s Talk Talent\u2019s top tip? Customisation is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"blocks\"><strong><strong>Using all the talent management building blocks at your disposal<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those looking for guidance, there are established building blocks in the Let\u2019s Talk Talent framework. This framework was designed to help you make your strategy your own, and cover each area of talent management, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The essential building blocks of a winning talent management strategy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Employer value proposition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Talent Acquisition <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Onboarding and induction <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operating structures <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Talent and succession management <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Career development<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the above are fairly standard across the industry, our building blocks are where the difference is. The Let\u2019s Talk Talent model is about being creative, both in the way you devise your policies and later on implement them. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/USDyTPQ6z6E?controls=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Clear proposition for people <\/strong><br>Whilst it\u2019s hard to be perfect, the organisations that tend to attract and keep great employees have one thing in common: they are clear about what employees can expect from them. Be honest about what you can offer, don\u2019t overpromise, and talk about the things that really do matter to your company.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bringing people up to speed <\/strong><br>Bringing new starters up to scratch with your company\u2019s culture, mission and vision is key to ensuring their induction is a success. But this principle also applies to existing staff. Don\u2019t wait to bring them into the fold and make sure they are on board and can contribute to the implementation of your talent strategy.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clear ways of working and structure <\/strong><br>Again, this can start at the onboarding stage, when clear expectations should be communicated to employees. But it shouldn\u2019t stop there. Staff should be clear on the organisational structure, their support system, and their options in terms of career development.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inspired and informed managers <\/strong><br>Managers are on the frontline, and they will be instrumental in helping you achieve your goals. Ensuring you have the right line-up to foster a culture of transparency and encourage honest feedback and discussions, as well as draw out key staff\u2019s skills and coaching needs is key when it comes to attracting and retaining the right talent.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consistent developmental feedback <\/strong><br>Of course, regular feedback will help your talent pool evolve within your organisation. At Let\u2019s Talk Talent, we believe everyone has talent, and talent has to be nurtured. But development feedback can also apply to your HR efforts. Policies shouldn\u2019t be derived from books, models and theories. They should be living, breathing organisms and require employee contributions to help build the right company culture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Talent management as part of your HR strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the above sets out a clear recipe for a successful talent management strategy, it\u2019s clear that variations are needed from one organisation to the next. Overall, the key steps remain the same: audit your talent pool, identify your biggest problem, establish the metrics you need to monitor, and put the right building blocks in place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just remember that it\u2019s not about following a set framework. It\u2019s about adapting that framework to fit your unique business, culture and talent pool. And it\u2019s about getting started somewhere, anywhere. Waiting for the time to be right may mean missing the boat and losing staff to your competitors, so start taking small, incremental steps towards making your organisation a great place to work.
