According to the CIPD Learning & Development Survey 2009 (http://www.cipd.co.uk/subjects/lrnanddev/general/_Learning_and_developme...) the development of management and leadership skills will play a central role in meeting business objectives over the next two years. A key enabler of effective talent development is a clear commitment from the leadership team, while the greatest barriers tend to be the time and cost associated with running talent management schemes. In the current climate, where numerous short-term priorities consume both people and financial resources how can organisations achieve this longer term commitment to talent development? It appears that the most widely used and effective talent management activities are currently in-house development programmes and coaching (HDA, 2008; CIPD, 2009). In order to develop an understanding as to how to introduce these initiatives into your own organisation it can often be useful to review how successful organisations have achieved this.
With this in mind, HDA (www.hda.co.uk) are currently undertaking a short survey to identify the steps that organisations are taking to sustain a commitment to talent management initiatives in the current climate – to participate please click on the following link: http://www.hda.co.uk/TalentmanagementSurvey2009.
The results of the survey will be published in the July HDA Newsletter.
If you would like to discuss any of the above in more detail please contact Sweta Patel, Campaign Manager – HDA - 0207 484 5065 / sxp@hda.co.uk
