Abstract
Distinguishing an organisation from the competition, and building a position noticeably ahead of it entails the identification, attracting, education, development, and especially retaining of quality and talented employees. The objective of the article is to analyse the link between the region of operation of the organisation and its focus on the activities related to talent management, and to specify the overall change in the focus of organisations on talent management in time. Several partial objectives, such as a questionnaire survey conducted in Slovak organisations between 2013 – 2017, were fulfilled in order to accomplish this objective. Statistical hypothesis testing aimed at specifying the relationship between the region of operation of the given organisation and the execution of activities related to talent management in it, and the focus of the organisation on career planning of all the categories of employees, confirmed a link between the analysed variables. Positive changes in the selected attributes in time were evaluated by the fixed-base index.
Highlights
A competitive advantage is reflected in the ability of an organisation to design and develop a product or a service, and its ability to produce and sell it for more advantageous prices and in greater amounts or quality than competition
With regard to the aforementioned, we were interested in whether the interviewed organisations realised the need to focus on talents and their development, and whether they were dealing with talent management in practice
A positive trend was recorded in the focus of organisations on the activities related to talent management, which appears positive in the context of the results of a research conducted by Snipes with the participation of 199 leaders involved in a development scheme within talent management
Summary
A competitive advantage is reflected in the ability of an organisation to design and develop a product or a service, and its ability to produce and sell it for more advantageous prices and (or) in greater amounts or quality than competition. Distinguishing an organisation from the competition, and building a position noticeably ahead of it entails the identification, attracting, education, development, and especially retaining of quality and talented employees
