New Book Summary Compiles the Talent Management Strategies of Leading Companies

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) November 14, 2011 -- EBSCO Publishing has just released a new book summary of Talent Management. Talent management depends on the company and its culture.

How a company manages its talent varies depending on the company’s objectives, policies, and values. As a result of these varying factors, talent management does not look the same at any two companies.

Talent management, at its core, is the actions and support a company provides in order to help employees achieve their best work as well as accomplish personal and company goals. In Talent Management, Larry Israelite compiles the talent management strategies of leading companies in order to demonstrate viable approaches to talent management as well as the benefits of helping employees reach their full potential.

Talent management allows an organization to take advantage of its most abundant and costly investments: its employees. Larry Israelite and other contributors to Talent Management discuss the following ideas central to a talent-driven environment:

• There is no one definition of talent management that works for every organization. Talent management depends on an organization’s specific culture and values.

• The difference between one successful company and one unsuccessful company with equally skilled workers boils down to how talent is being directed and used.
• Senior executive need to be involved in managing talent, from training managers to giving input on succession plans.
• Understanding current and future skill gaps in one’s company not only shows what skills can be improved on but also clarifies skill sets that should be sought out in new hires.
• Specified metrics are necessary in order gauge how successful talent management strategies are

In addition to a 7-10 page summary of the book, each Business Book Summary includes a Key Concepts section that outlines the main points of the book, an About the Author section that informs readers of the author’s background as well as their additional written works, and a Features of the Book Section that explains the special features found within the book.
