Abstract

Through effective talent development programmes, employees can expand their horizon of skills and knowledge required at work, and by doing so enhance their performance and productivity within an organisation. Therefore, this study explore the effectiveness of talent development programmes and practices at Namibia Institute of Pathology (NIP) as an overarching goal. This study adopted a qualitative, interview-based design for the research and the primary data was gathered from NIP management and non-management employees using a simple convenience sampling technique and semi-structured interview questions. The sample size was 20, which represented 100% of the total population. The major finding of this study revealed that the talent development programmes are not effectively implemented at NIP due to many challenges such lack of adequate funding, lack of management support and poor design of the programmes amongst others. This study adds to the body of knowledge by addressing the challenges and factors that organizations should consider when implementing talent development programmes. The study, thus, recommends that NIP management should invest their time and energy on the design and implementation of talent development programmes and practices. It is through effective human capital development programmes that the employees would be acquainted with the organisational trajectory and be able to determine the interplay between the vision, strategies and approaches to changing attitudes and behaviour.
