Talent management 'essential'

Effective management of staff talent can help organisations make the most of their workforce performance, it has been claimed.

In news that may be of interest to workers in the insurance and financial service industries, performance management solutions firm SuccessFactors believes companies of all sizes require tools for a high-performing workforce in order to compete in the current uncertain economic climate.

Josh Bersin, president of Bersin and Associates, a research and advisory firm focused on enterprise learning and talent management, commented: "Talent management systems are becoming core enterprise platforms.

"In today's economic environment, such value-add features will help organisations save money and improve the return on investments in talent management software."

Earlier this week, consultancy The Performance Solution claimed sales managers are better able to motivate their staff if they understand how they process information and make use of their energies.

The group added that this understanding can help build rapport and help workers feel more accepted, while boosting performance levels.
