integration (i.e. a set of talent management activities that are integrated and aligned
with internal organizational systems and external environmental factors),
sophistication (i.e. the development of integrated data management and information
systems) and broad-based accountability (for all managers and supervisors) that HRM
has traditionally not engendered (in practice if not in theory). In this way, talent
management presents the opportunity to elevate the practice of HRM to its theoretical
potential, with evidence, shared responsibility and a supportive culture being key
cornerstones of its practice.
