| Lisa Rowan, IDC |
IDC’s perspective of talent management is a cycle including functions that serve to attract, develop, reward, and retain top talent. Talent management maturity has three parts: your particular points of talent pain, your organization’s talent culture, and your current level of talent maturity. The stages of maturity begin with a process that is completely paper based, no integration and only occasional discussions around performance. Talent Management maturity peaks with a Web-based HCM solution that is fully unified.
