Download or read book A Strategic Approach to Talent Acquisition written by Pradeep Sahay and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While 'Strategy' is a word that is usually associated with the future, its link to the past is no less central. Noted Danish philosopher Kierkegaard once observed, " life is lived forward but understood backward." His wisdom finds an echo in Henry Mintzberg' seminal piece on "Crafting Strategy', where he writes that " Like potters at the wheel, organizations must make sense of the past if they hope to manage the future. Only by coming to recognize the patterns that form in their own behavior do they get to know their capabilities and their potential. Thus crafting strategy, like managing a craft, requires a natural synthesis of the future, present, and the past." What, then, does it mean to craft 'strategy' nigh a ' game -changing strategy' ? This eBook titled "A Strategic Approach to Talent Acquisition," chronicles the interesting journey of an Organization aka ABC group, as it goes about crafting a 'Game - Changing Talent Acquisition Strategy', re-orienting its focus from a tactical, reactive process to a strategic program capable of consistently sourcing, recruiting and on-boarding the best talent. ABC' success of its TA optimization effort, in large measure, hinged around its ability to synthesize, identify, and leverage dispersed capabilities within the organization. This path to a truly game-changing TA strategy was rife with complexity and ambiguity. How can both strategy and execution be consistently superior? How can they support a culture of "one" yet enable high potentials to thrive as individuals? How can the strategy be global and local at the same time? And how can its processes endure yet be agile and constantly open to revitalization? Too many organizations end up making zero-sum decisions when faced with such challenges. ABC group didn't look at these issues as trade-offs. Rather, they saw them as inherent tensions that had to be carefully managed and reconciled: A strategic orientation to be balanced by operational excellence; a sense of collective passion and purpose to be balanced by the need of individuals to build their careers; a global perspective to be balanced by local relevance; enduring commitments to leave room for renewal and regeneration. Skillfully managing all four of these tensions together helped them navigate the shift to a high - impact talent acquisition function. Recruitment has not changed in terms of a process - a vacancy needs a suitable hire. However, the landscape, tools, technology, behaviors, expectations and generations are changing all around us and continue to accelerate how organizations approach their ability to source and acquire talent. Forward looking companies such as ABC have been seizing this opportunity to move their capabilities forward and creating true competitive advantage in talent sourcing and acquisition. They are focusing on fine-tuning the fundamentals, while devoting increased time and planning to the more strategic areas of talent acquisition, including workforce planning and strategic sourcing. Their standout recruiting results comes from Blue Ocean Recruiting - game-changing strategies that elevate recruitment from a transactional, short-term focused activity to a strategic, integrated, long-term approach that optimizes their investments in people in a way that makes the competition irrelevant.

Book excerpt: Over time, talent management practises have evolved to meet the needs of today's workforce. Attracting and retaining high-quality employees, developing their skills, and continuously motivating them to improve their performance are all part of talent management. The main goal of This talent management Book is to develop a motivated workforce that will stay with your company for a long time. The specifics of how to accomplish this will vary from company to company. From Personnel to Strategic HR to Talent Management To understand why Talent Management has become so important, we must first look at the evolution of corporate HR: Stage 1: Personnel Department: In the 1970s and 1980s, the business function in charge of human resources was referred to as "The Personnel Department." This group's job was to hire people, pay them, and make sure they had the benefits they needed. Batch payroll systems were the systems that grew up to support this function. The personnel department was a well-known business function in this role. Stage 2: Strategic Human Resources: Organizations realised that the HR function was, in fact, more important in the 1980s and 1990s, and the concepts of "Strategic HR" emerged. During this time, businesses realised that the vice president of human resources had a much broader role to play, including recruiting the right people, training them, assisting the business in the design of job roles and organisational structures (organisation design), developing "total compensation" packages that include benefits, stock options, and bonuses, and serving as a central point of communication for employee health and happiness. The "Head of Personnel" was renamed "VP of HR," and his or her role in business strategy and execution was greatly expanded. Recruiting and applicant tracking (ATS), portals, total compensation systems, and learning management systems were all built to support this new role. HR has evolved into more than a business function in this role, serving as a business partner, reaching out to support lines of business. Stage 3: Talent Management: A new era has begun with the emergence of "Talent Management." While strategic HR remains a top priority, HR and L&D departments are now concentrating on a new set of strategic issues:

Download or read book Talent Chooses You written by James Ellis and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want your business to grow, you need to be able to rely on your ability to hire talent reliably and consistently. No talent pipeline? No growth, and no business. But your recruiting team is drowning (I asked them). They need help. Now, if you ask recruiters, they will ask for headcount. Or more technology. But more bodies and more tools won't solve the issue (though it will eat up your budget). What you need a is a better strategy. And that strategy is called employer branding.Employer branding is about understanding, distilling and communicating what your company is all about in order to attract all the talent you need. That will differentiate your company as a place where people will want to work, rather than a place they land because they didn't know better.If you've heard about employer branding in business magazines, it might seem like something only "big companies" can do. Something that requires a dedicated team, expensive platforms, or a bunch of consultants. That isn't true. If you understand where your brand comes from, and how to apply it, any company (especially yours) can hire better with it.And this book will teach you how to do all of that, and then some.In this book, you'll learn what employer branding really is, how to make a compelling argument internally to leadership that creates commitment, how to work with other teams and be creative in finding solutions. As a special bonus, we are including a handbook on how to work with recruiting teams. This hands-on workbook is chock full of examples, checklists, step-by-step instructions and even emails you can copy and paste to make things happen immediately.

Book excerpt: Awarded a Silver Medal in the category Human Resources and Employee Training from the 2014 Axiom Business Book Awards • Create the inclusive, high performance workforce needed to succeed in an increasing multicultural society and global marketplace• Learn how global organizations and leading professional associations develop integrated HR/diversity talent strategies, and the specific challenges they face• Get practical tools to assess integrated HR/diversity strategic planning, and see why organizations are not making more diversity progress• Develop specific performance indicators to track your progress in implementing synergistic HR/diversity approaches• Case studies of SHRM, federal and state government, global corporations, and higher education illustrate systematic, integrated HR/diversity effortsFor HR professionals and leaders, chief diversity officers, line managers, and executives in the private and public sectors and higher education, this book presents a systematic approach to integrating HR practices and strategic diversity initiatives to create the inclusive, high performance workforce that every enterprise and institution needs to succeed in an increasingly multicultural society and global marketplace.The authors’ point of departure is that talent is the primary strategic asset necessary for organizational survival and success in a demographically diversifying and globally interconnected world. Organizations seeking to attain their full potential in this new talent frontier must optimize their human capital resources by the deliberate development of synergy between human resource (HR) and diversity programs. Failure to integrate and coordinate these two functions will erode organizational competitiveness, whether it is in developing new markets, products, programs, or services.As the first book to provide a concrete roadmap to integrated HR and diversity strategy, the authors identify two critical practices: talent management through the orchestration of HR and diversity programs to enhance organizational capability by unleashing, mobilizing, nurturing, and sustaining the contributions of a diverse and talented workforce; and talent sustainability through the close integration of HR and diversity to continuously develop systems, structures, processes, and a culture that heighten employee commitment, engagement, and inclusion. They further believe that there should be a commonality of practice across all types of organizations, and that each sector can learn from the others to accelerate its adaptation to today’s rapidly shifting national and global realities.Based on the most current research and on interviews with HR and diversity leaders in major organizations, this book provides the reader with concrete strategies and practical tools for implementing a successful and sustainable talent management program. It also addresses common barriers to the development of synergistic HR and diversity strategy, and how to overcome them.Given the evolutionary nature of the integration of HR and diversity, the authors present nine extensive case studies from all organizational sectors, as well as from the two leading Human Resource professional associations – the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR) – to illustrate the dynamic intersection between HR and diversity practices.
