Global talent management: Challenges and Solutions

Abstract

As the supply of talented employees fails to keep up with demand, a growing number of multinational firms have responded by putting in place global systems to identify and develop talent. However, many of these firms have begun to acknowledge the host of challenges involved in the design and implementation of such systems. In this article we discuss the challenges that multinationals face in identifying talent, the actions they take with their pools of talent, and make suggestions for how these challenges might be addressed.
