Samenvatting:
More than ever before, organizational leaders are hungry for concrete information and useable data about talent. Yet too often, the hiring, promotion, development, and turnover decisions we make are based on fuzzy logic, trendy ideas, or outdated frameworks. Joe Ungemah sees this sub-optimal situation as a massive opportunity for businesses. In Misplaced Talent, he thoroughly explores the ideas and tools most commonly used for making people decisions. With a unique combination of practicality and scientific rigor, this book reveals what works, what doesn't, and how we can sell crucial investments in human capital to stakeholders. The result is a set of ideas that can lead to happier people, healthier organizations, and enhanced productivity at all levels.
There are countless techniques, assessments, and processes for managing people decisions at every stage. This proliferation of options can be a good thing, because it allows us to create practices that work best for our environments. The problem, as Misplaced Talent shows, is that not all options are created equal. Some work well, leading to increased efficiency and good return on investment (ROI). But others can actually harm organizations by failing to establish person-environment fit and creating workplaces that will inevitably lose talent. This book explores all the most common strategies, showing which talent management practices are valid and which aren't. Equipped with this information, readers are empowered to:- Identify and repair dysfunctional employment environments
- Adopt proven strategies for identifying and attracting talent
- Deploy talent effectively to maximize productivity and growth
- Avoid HR trends and strategies that fail to yield results
- Employ assessments that improve person-environment fit
- Engage leaders with metrics that demonstrate human resources ROI
