Talent Management

Recently I received an article from Taleo, a talent management company. The university is currently implementing the commpany's on-line recruitment software. Taleo provided "10 Talent Management Best Practices for 2011."

1. Move recruiting on-line
2. Source smarter (posting openings)
3. Extend your reach with social recruiting
4. Get employees up to speed faster
5. Align goals and objectives across your organization
6. Transform performance reviews
7. Implement ongoing learning
8. Gain insight into your workforce
9. Create a pay-for-performance culture
10. Build a leadership pipeline.

We are already working on a number of these items across the institute;however, we have room to improve. Addressing each of them will continue to help us move toward our goal of being The Employer of Choice in public service.
