2008 Talent Management Survey

Debunking the Talent Management Hype:
Using Human Capital Analytics to Guide Decision Making

The Infohrm talent management survey has now closed, and thank you to all who responded. Results are currently being analysed and a report will be available to all those who completed the survey at the end of August.

About the Survey show

Talent Management continues to be top of mind for senior executives around the world. Talent decisions are no different from other business decisions and should be based on data and facts rather than on intuition. Much of what is proposed in the popular literature ignores this critical need and assumes a fad like status. This is complicated by the HR Function's traditional administrative orientation and internal functional barriers that undermine attempts to embed talent management activities as a whole-of-organization process.

With those themes in mind, Infohrm launched a new survey entitled “Debunking the talent management hype: Using human capital analytics to guide decision making”. Through a mix of strategic and operational questions, organizations will be able to benchmark their current talent management measurement practices and identify opportunities for improvement, with a specific focus on building business cases for investments in the analytical measurement of talent management.

As such, Infohrm invited participatants in this unique opportunity to share their insights and learn from peers in organizations across the globe in the area of measuring talent management.

About the Survey show

Workforce planning continues to be top of mind for senior HR and Finance executives around the world.

Despite this, according to Infohrm’s 2007 Global Workforce Planning Survey, only 14 percent of organizations are prepared for the potential loss of skills, corporate knowledge, and leadership that will occur within the next five years. Executives reported several troubling roadblocks to successful workforce planning, including scarce evidence of “dollars and cents” impact and poor integration with the company’s financial and strategic planning processes.

With those themes in mind, Infohrm has launched a new survey titled The Value of Workforce Planning.

Through a mix of strategic and operational questions, organizations will be able to benchmark their current workforce planning practices and identify opportunities for improvement, with a specific focus on building business cases for workforce planning investments.
