4-1. Employers today often view all the staff–train–

reward activities as part of a single integrated talent management process. Talent management is the holistic, integrated, and results and goal-oriented process of planning, recruiting, selecting, developing, managing, and compensating employees. Taking a talent management perspective means: keep in mind that the talent management tasks are parts of a single interrelated talent management process;

make sure talent management decisions such as staffing and pay are goal-directed; use the same “profile” for formulating recruitment plans for a job as you do for making selection, training, appraisal, and payment decisions for it; and integrate all the talent management functions.
