Talent management is a multi-faceted profession, and it is important for the talent manager to be proficient in many areas. Consider the video on talent management that you just viewed in the opening of this module. We see five overarching steps for managing talent. Let's talk about them in some depth. For the discussion question this week, keep in mind these five broad categories typically associated with TM: 

Planning

Attracting

Developing

Retaining

Transitioning

Part I: Initial Post

Take a few moments and think about your current employer or a previous one. Reflect on the following questions and post to the discussion board:

How do you feel your current employer (or a previous employer) developed your career potential?

Did you feel supported, or did you feel unsupported?

What steps were or were not taken to retain you?

What could they have done better to attract/develop/retain employees?

What would you have done differently if you were in charge of developing talent at the organization?

Part II: Interact with Peers

Please meaningfully engage with at least two peers to move the conversation forward. Share insights about what they said, ask questions, share experiences, etc.
