Talent management in organisations operating in Slovakia

Abstract. Basic precondition for organisations wanting to ensure sustainable development is constant gathering and development of human potential. Its purposeful use is a precondition of building and development of strengths and competitive advantages of organisations. If organisations want to be innovative they should have several characteristic features. In our contribution, we focused on talent management, which is considered as one of the key tools of achieving and enhancing efficiency of companies, since organisation employees are the key factor of their development. In order to find out whether and to what extent organisations operating in Slovakia deal with talent management, we conducted a research at School of Economics and Management in Public Administration in Bratislava, which results, as well as measures to enhance present state, will be a part of this contribution. Analysis of 340 organisations showed that organisations do not focus on talent management as on priority, and 30% of respondents do not consider it as crucial for successful running of organisations. With regard to found negative facts, we proposed a simple method based on three steps on the basis of which organisations are able to analyze their present level of focusing on talent management as well as reveal their bottlenecks in this sphere.
