Long relegated to HR journals, research papers, and occasional magazine features, talent management is now appearing regularly in mainstream news.

As we’ve progressed from the agricultural, industrial, information, to the talent age, the performance generated from successful talent management is Empowering the Next Level of Business Results.

Recent talent management features in the news include The Sunday Times of London’s major spread available at TimesOnline, and Fortune magazine’s article titled Does your employer deserve you?, where John Cheese of Accenture says this on how to spot a talent-powered company:

“There should be a lot of upward mobility, and lateral movement as well, within the ranks. Talent-powered organizations give their employees frequent, constructive feedback on their performance.”

We agree that unified workforce mobility, recruiting, and performance management that take the process from an annual event to a regular occurrence can make all the difference.
