Chief Executives are acutely aware of the problem, and may find themselves frustrated with the current output from their organisation’s Talent initiatives. Part of this disconnect comes from Chief Executives equating Talent Management as the same as the wider People agenda. Talent Management should be viewed as a stand alone disciple focusing on hiring, nurturing and retaining the best talent to meet an organisation’s needs, and truly effective Talent Management only arises when an organisation has clarity around which aspects of Talent to focus on.

Capgemini offers one of the widest reaching HR and Talent Management portfolios in the industry with a team of consultants who don’t just bring consultancy experience but also practical hands-on operational experience of HR and Workforce Transformation.

The benefits of Talent Management

Effective Talent Management enables organisations to:

• Recruit the right people in the right roles at the right time
• Create the working environment to encourage people to remain and thrive within the organisation
• Identify and develop the current generation of leaders and top talent
• Identify and develop the next generation of leader, allowing seamless succession planning and business continuity
• Bring the right people together to deliver business benefits for the organisation
• Identify roles that are crucial to achieving optimal business performance and enable their success

Capgemini’s approach

Capgemini differs from other Talent Management providers which focus on top talent and senior leaders in an organisation. Capgemini sees Talent Management as encompassing all levels of an organisation.

Capgemini works with organisations to develop a mindset and approach where Talent Management is seen as integral to business success, linked to wider business strategies and addresses current global trends. We ensure that business cases can be built for each Talent Management initiative to maintain the alignment between Talent strategies and business objectives.

Our strategy to helping organisations to deal effectively with Talent Management is built on three components:

• The Talent Management Proposition:
  • Why are we doing this?
  • What are we trying to create?
  • How will we explain it?
• The Talent Management Focus:
  • Where do we need to focus our investment?
  • Who will gain / lose ?
  • What do we get out of it?
• The Talent Management Conditions:
  • What do we need to get right?
  • What state are we in now?
  • What will work in our business?
