Next Steps For Sustained Success:
Since talent management unfolds is an ongoing cycle, begin by assessing the company's workforce requirements. Then, attract and onboard individuals who align with the company's strategic trajectory. Subsequently, nurture and oversee the workforce to sustain high levels of engagement and productivity.
