HR staff 'should implement talent management initiatives'

People in HR jobs should consider implementing talent management initiatives to ensure that their company's most talented members of staff stay happy in their roles, it has been suggested.

Earlier this week, a survey of people carried out by Speechly Bircham and King's College found that 29 per cent of respondents in HR jobs had noted an increased amount of employee complaints in 2009 - many of which were attributed to a breakdown in relationships between managers and their subordinates.

Reacting to the figures, Ruth Spellman, chief executive of the Chartered Management Institute, said that people in HR jobs face a difficult challenge when it comes to keeping staff happy.

"Retaining and developing talented individuals is key to business success, so managers need to focus on creating a talent culture to ensure that employees are nurtured and developed to the advantage of the business," she suggested.

Ms Spellman added that it was vital for British companies to attract the right type of person for each job at their company in the first place.
