Strategic Approach to Talent Management: Through Contexts of Time and Environment

Talent management has a very complex significance and goes beyond filling the available workplace with adequate employees in organisations. At the same time, the multidimensionality of the concept of talent is not unambiguous for all organisations. Talented individuals for one organisation may not be considered talented by other organisations. Talent management is a paradigm accompanied by "intensive" rhetoric such as the phrase "war for talents" or "headhunters", which also reflects the importance of attracting and retaining individuals in organisations. The benefits of hiring talents are twofold because it contributes to both the organisation and the individual. The most broadly understood talent management is an important segment of human resource management, which may become an independent scientific discipline in the future. Such overall and multiple significance was the motive to analyse this topic further. This paper aims to determine the concept of talent management and present its position in human resources management. The next aspect of the analysis is the time dimension with a historical overview and future expectations for the development of talent management. In addition, the paper will present the parallels of treating talent management from the aspect of the environment, either regionally, whether it is related to the size or type of organisation. Finally, the paper can be useful to the interested professional and scientific public seeking to expand the cognitive discourses on this topic or possibly improve a business in practice.
