Assignment Brief and Guidance:

Scenario:

Talent management (TM) is the process by which businesses and organisations recognise and develop talented people who can have a positive impact on their organisations and their productivity. It not only has become a key component of human resource management but also the responsibility of leaders and managers at all levels to manage talent within the business, with TM strategies being developed in line with the particular needs and structure of the business and industry. Themes of TM relevant to businesses when considering a strategic approach to talent management include the following:

· the role of line managers and leaders in employee development and well-being;

· talent management being used as a lever for culture change;

· the importance of contextualising approaches to talent management;

· the need for new and innovative ways of working to achieve a strategic approach to talent management;

· barriers for the development of a strategic approach caused by economic and day-to-day operational pressures.

Staff retention, training and morale is key in any industry where talented motivated employees can help differentiate one organisation from another and influence business success. An increasing number of businesses are rethinking ways to get the most from their staff. Rising costs, recruitment difficulties and changing employee attitudes mean that, for many employers, the traditional approaches to recruiting, training and retaining staff are being revisited to harness and develop talent and ultimately drive competitive advantage.

Assume that you are a Senior Researcher working in public limited company in Oman. Your job involves collecting data and information and undertaking policy research. Using the above scenario, you are requested to conduct a research project addressing the importance of contextualising approaches to talent management in workplace. The range of topics discussed could cover the following:

· Talent management as a strategic priority

· The role of talent management frameworks and future implications within organisations

· Effective talent management strategies for successful organisations

· The impact of talent management on the role HR

· Talent management for entrepreneurs and small businesses

· Best practices in global talent management within multinationals.

Your research and the report should:

a) Critically evaluate research methodologies and processes in application to a business research project to justify chosen research methods and analysis.

b) Communicate critical analysis of the outcomes and make valid, justified recommendations.

c) Demonstrate critical reflection and insight that results in recommended actions for improvements and future research considerations.

NOTE:

Apart from submitting the report, you need also to submit the presentation slides with speaker notes, the preliminary research proposal, the ethics form, along with the supervisor logbook.
