The article discusses the origin of the concept of "human capital". In the economic and social sciences, the first place is always occupied by human capital, whose creative qualities, abilities, strengths can improve one's personality and the world around it. But the development of the material and technical base of accelerated production overshadowed the problems of human development and its productivity capabilities. As a result of all this, for many years the capabilities of the producer were considered as one of the quantitative factors of production. At the same time the main task was only a qualitative combination of labor, working capital and fixed assets. The idea of human capital has long been rooted in the history of economic thought. One of his formulations can be found in William Pete's "Political Arithmetic", which was later reflected in Adam Smith's "Studies on the Nature and Causes of People's Wealth", in the Principles of Economics by Alfred Marshall and many other scholars. The theory of human capital was developed at the turn of the 50s and 60s of the 20th century. The paper analyzes the structural elements of human capital from the point of view of various authors. The author has studied the characteristics of human capital that distinguish it from other capital. The characteristics of the human capital of the organization were examined, the evaluation methods were determined, the role of human capital in the improvement of the efficiency of the organization was determined. It has been found that the effectiveness of human capital management depends on the mobility of working resources. As a result of the research, the author presented a model of human capital management of the organization. Keywords: human capital, organization, efficiency, formation, management, system.

In this challenging global economic, organizations are fighting in the war of talent to remain competitive. It is no doubt that the role of human capital management (HCM) is the upmost important for organization and there are many aspects of HCM that can be applied and used by human capital practitioners. On the other hand, the organization needs to understand the many aspects of HCM and try to link it in order to make employees engage and retain in the organization especially the top talent. Employees who are engaged are said to become more committed to the organization and thus build some emotional link between the employees and employer, which in turn lead to retention. Detailed literature review was undertaken to explore the role of HCM in enhancing engagement and retention among the top talent.  Through the literatures reviewed, it was found that several HCM practices such as creating great work environment, encouraging positive discretionary behaviour, and competitive reward and recognition had actually help in enhancing employee’s engagement.

Hence, this paper will focuses on discussing the role of HCM as a vital component to enhance engagement and retention of top talent based on findings and suggestions from reviewing the vast literatures.
