Exploring Talent Management Trends in Organisations Worldwide: A Systematic Literature Review

In the recent past, it has become a trend that the talented employees of any organisation have a tendency to leave it due to lack of expected growth and work satisfaction. It remains a challenge for these organisations to think of the various practices which can enable the retention of their talented workforce and actively contribute in the success of the organisations. Talent management has come up as a pertinent management field focussed on the growth and development of their employees. It incorporates the activities concerned with the attraction, development and retention of the employees who are competent and talented. Organisations are now actually perceiving the significance of their human capital and investing a huge amount of their funds in adopting diverse talent management practices thereby gaining a competitive advantage. This paper tries to make a sincere effort to comprehend the development of the concept of talent management since the time of its origin around the latter half of nineties through a systematic assessment of the existing literature in this field. It further tries to get an insight into different practices being adopted by the organisations in many sectors and their impact on the employees through the study of the researches being done by various academicians.
