Only half of major organizations regard talent management as a top priority, according to a recent Right Management survey. For 13% of organizations, talent management is a secondary priority, and for the balance, not a priority at all, according to the survey.
The survey asked respondents, “How much of a priority is talent management to your organization’s top leadership?”
Here are the results:
|
A top priority |
49% |
|
Secondary priority |
13% |
|
Not a priority |
38% |

The following ranking is the result:
- Leadership development (e.g., coaching, high-potential programs, succession management, onboarding, performance management, cross- cultural competency)
- Talent acquisition (e.g., sourcing, hiring, selecting and onboarding talent)
- Employee engagement (e.g., engagement and retention strategies, wellness, productivity optimization)
- Individual and team development ( e.g., competency modeling, organizational, team and individual assessments)
- Organization effectiveness (e.g., implementing strategy, workforce alignment, change management)
- Outplacement and workforce transition (e.g., career transition assistance, career management and development)
Right Management conducted a survey of 537 senior managers and human resource professionals during the first quarter of 2012.
