Assignment task: Post the COVID pandemic; organisations are faced with new challenges, where a record number of people are leaving their jobs. At least 41% of the global workforce is likely to consider leaving their current employer this year alone. This phenomenon thus places pressure on organisations to navigate the ripple effects of the pandemic and to re-evaluate how to attract and retain talent.
The sustainability of organisations therefore hinges, to a larger extent, on an effective "talent management strategy", with the "talent management process" being pivotal in ensuring preparedness to mitigate the risks of new challenges.
Given the above context, evaluate and critique the "talent management process" as a key input to the "talent management strategy". In your response discuss the following, substantiating your views or arguments.
Q1. Discuss 3-5 challenges organisations are experiencing post the pandemic.
Q2. Evaluate and critique the elements of the "talent management process" and its relevance to the new challenges, if these are not addressed.
Q3. Discuss the role of leadership in enabling an organisational culture that is conducive to talent management.
Q4. Propose a set of recommendations that organisations could implement to mitigate the risks of the new challenges post the pandemic.
