HR directors meet to discuss Talent Management

Drastic times call for drastic measures. The changing demographics of the labor market, enduring skills shortages and employee demands for work–life balance have created a so-called ‘war for talent’. In this ‘war’, successful organizations look to improve their strategies, policies and practices for the attraction, development, deployment and retention of talent vital for their business needs. They therefore have to aim to understand the capabilities needed in their organization and determine the actual or potential talents required of employees. As the struggle for the top talents tightens, successful companies must balance and align their talent management efforts with their business strategies. There is a variety of approaches to talent management and no one blueprint that can be applied to all organizational contexts.

In November 2007 a group of HR-directors at some of the largest companies in Scandinavia met in Copenhagen to discuss the high-lighted topic
Talent Management. Lars Gejrot, HR director at IKEA started the meeting with an interesting review of the IKEA strategy to attract and keep the right employees. Read more about the meeting under the link below.
