Sustainable Framework to Attract, Develop, and Retain Global Talent

Abstract

Effective talent management is essential for ‘competitive edge and future survival' (Marchington & Wilkinson, 2012, p. 200). Moreover, volatile economic context makes talent management more crucial to organisational success. Similarly attracting, developing and retaining talent particularly managerial, professional and technical in a sustainable way is herculean task indeed. With a growing problem of limited specialist and technical skills in the labour market there is definitely going to be escalated ‘war for talent', Both male and female leadership talent might be warranted for organisational success and economic development. There is also a considerable body of research suggesting a link between language, communication and how gender – and leadership – gets ‘done' in organisations. This chapter through grounded research and in depth literature review intends to discuss the current scenario and propose a sustainable framework to attract develop and retain global talent in particular. It is hoped that the chapter contributes and add to the talent management knowledge base.
