Talent on Demand: Managing Talent in the Age of
Uncertainty
By Peter
Cappelli
Description:
 Executives
everywhere acknow-ledge that finding, retaining, and
growing talent
counts among their toughest business challenges. Yet to address this
concern, many are turning to talent management practices that no longer work
because the environment they were tailored to no longer exists. In today's
uncertain world, managers can't forecast their business needs accurately,
never mind their talent needs. An open labor market means inevitable leaks
in your talent pipeline. And intensifying competition demands a maniacal
focus on costs. Traditional investments in talent management wind up being
hugely expensive, especially when employees you've carefully cultivated
leave your firm for a rival. In "Talent on Demand," Peter Cappelli examines
the talent management problem through a radical new lens. Drawing from
state-of-the-art supply chain management and numerous company examples, he
presents four new principles for ensuring that your organization has the
skills it needs--when it needs them. In this book, you'll discover how to:
Balance developing talent in-house with buying it on the open market;
improve the accuracy of your talent-need forecasts; maximize returns on your
talent investments; and replicate external job market dynamics by creating
an in-house market that links available talent to jobs. Practical and
provocative, "Talent on Demand" gives you the ideas and tools you'll need to
match the supply of talent to your demand for it--today and tomorrow.
