Talent Management

The Talent Management module (HURM08003) begins by examining the role of Talent management across workforces. 

Talent management's role is to attract, identify, develop, engage, retain and deploy individuals who are considered particularly valuable to an organisation. 

Consideration is given to the changing and evolving labour markets and business environments within which organisations operate and to the related pressures and constraints that affect organisations’ supply and demand for labour. 

The module analyses the broad strategic HRM choices available to organizations and the need for environmental scanning, internal workforce and performance audits and other planning activities for the recruitment, development, retention and deployment of the requisite effective workforce.

There is coverage of the employment legislation and professional HR practice aspects that affect the HR role in strategic, policy and practice aspects of talent management.

On successful completion of this module the student will be able to:

• Explain the role of the Talent management in changing and evolving labour markets
• Consider current employment legislation and ethical professional practice issues in relation to Talent management
• Evaluate the effectiveness of different approaches and the requisite HR skills to design, implement and review effective recruitment, development and retention strategy, policy and practice in different settings
• Consider future talent management strategies
