The paper deals with the issue of talent management, which is currently an integral part of effective human resource management. Talent management is now at the forefront because human resources, as bearers of knowledge and innovation, represent an irreplaceable business factor and a significant competitive advantage. The paper focuses on the implementation of talent management in terms of selected factors, which are assumed to be a key to the success of implementing talent management practices. Successful implementation of talent management is a prerequisite for achieving the set goals such as the acquisition, effective use and especially the retention of talented employees. The paper also presents the research results. The research aimed to determine whether there are statistically significant relationships between the selected factors and the successful implementation of talent management. The study was carried out on a sample of Slovak business entities, while the initial selection based on the question of whether the business entity has implemented talent management. Initially, out of 345 contacted Slovak business entities, only 58 of them commented positively on the implementation of talent management. The research sample consisted of talented employees of business entities that operate in the Slovak Republic and that have implemented talent management. Subsequently, the managers of these 58 organizations were approached to distribute the questionnaires to the «talented» employees. We received 83 questionnaires. The research subject is selected factors as possible determinants of talent management implementation: the existence of a talent pool; the existence of succession and career development plans; the degree to which the remuneration system is related to the performance of talented employees; support of education and development; support of innovation and creativity in talented employees. The success of the implementation of talent management as a dependent variable was assessed through 5 items using a 1 – 5 scale where a value of 1 represents strong disagreement and a value of 5 strong agreement. The consistency of these items was determined using Cronbach’s alpha. For meeting the aim of the research, 5 statistical hypotheses were tested using the Mann Whitney U test and the Kendall correlation coefficient. It was confirmed that succession planning, the flexibility of the remuneration system concerning the performance of talented employees, training and development support and creativity and innovation support in talented employees could be considered as determinants of successful implementation of talent management. Keywords human resource management, talent management, talent management implementation, talent pool, talented employee.

Subject area Human resource management. Study level/applicability Undergraduate and graduate level Human Resource Management programmes; Leadership modules. Case overview This case accounts the experience of a Malaysian company, Telekom Malaysia Berhad, in implementing talent management practices in its organization. There were several developments that prompted Telekom Malaysia Berhad to initiate a talent management program. The emergence of competitors had forced the company to introduce initiatives to sustain the business. One of the key initiatives involved the need to better manage its talent. The talent management process at Telekom Malaysia Bhd is divided into four key stages. These are first, talent spotting; second, talent assessment and endorsement; third, formulation of individual development plan; and the fourth, readiness level assessment. Each of these stages is implemented using a well-defined set of standards and activities. Expected learning outcomes This case examines how commitment and support from line management is crucial in the successful implementation of a talent management program and HR-related initiatives generally. Line managers are identified as the missing linchpin between HRM and organizational performance. The case will also identify how the role of line managers is now shifting to support the HR in a strategic sense. Thus, we find a shift in the HR profession from personnel management to strategic human resource management. The case examines the importance of a positive leader-member relationship, creating a culture which is receptive to change. This can be achieved by transformational leader who fosters closer relationships with subordinates. Finally, the case pinpoints how development can occurs in three main ways – on the job experiences, relationships, networking and feedback and formal training opportunities.

Importance of Employee Selection is discussed widely by many authors till date. If we believe that the organizational success or failure is dependent on the talent pool of the employees, then we admit that Employee Selection is one of the most important areas of Human Resource Management. Thomas Stone defined Selection as "a process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify (and hire) those with a greater likelihood of success in a job".

Orientation: Employees’ hardiness is increasingly recognised as an aspect of their well-being and feelings of career success. Psychological well-being and feelings of subjective career success have positive implications for the motivation, satisfaction, performance and commitment of young talented staff.Research purpose: The study empirically investigated the relationship between an individual’s hardiness (measured by the Personal Views Survey II [PVS-II]) and organisational commitment (measured by the Organisational Commitment Scale).Motivation for the study: Research on an individual’s hardiness profile as an aspect of their career well-being and success and how these attributes influence their psychological attachment to the organisation, is needed to guide human resource career development support practices aimed at retaining valuable staff.Research design, approach and method: A quantitative survey was conducted on a convenience sample of predominantly Black (92.2%) and female (71%) employed adults (N = 355) at managerial and staff levels in the human resource management field.Main findings: Correlational and multiple regression analyses revealed a number of significant relationships between the two variables.Practical/managerial implications: Managers and human resource practitioners need to recognise how people’s hardiness relates to their sense of psychological attachment to the organisation. Organisations concerned with the retention and well-being of their equity staff members need to find a way to enhance and develop their hardiness and commitment.Contribution/value-add: The research contributes new insights into and knowledge of the factors that influence their employees’ hardiness and how these relate to their organisational commitment. The results may be used to inform career development support interventions that aim to increase employees’ sense of career well-being and success.

Interest in how researchers and practitioners approach the management of talent has grown in recent years. Effective management of the talent life cycle begins with implementation of a talent management architecture—that is, the combination of systems, processes, and practices developed and implemented by an organization to ensure that the management of talent is carried out effectively. This chapter explores today’s career development environment and describes a career pathways framework as a viable “architecture” and philosophy for effectively managing talent. The chapter provides a brief overview of current perspectives on talent management, describes a career pathways system in greater detail, and discusses how building and implementing such a system as part of a broader human resource management function can pay dividends for an organization’s talent life cycle.
