SHORTLISTED: CMI Management Book of the Year 2017 - Practical
Manager Category
Organizations traditionally have had a clear distinction between their
policies on diversity and inclusion and their talent management. The
main driving force behind diversity and inclusion has been being seen to
be a good employer, to be able to make claims in the annual report and
to feel as though a positive contribution is being made to society. On
the other hand, talent management activities have been driven by a real
business need to ensure that the organization has the right people with
the right skills in the right place to drive operational success.
Inclusive Talent Management aligns talent management and diversity
and inclusion, offering a fresh perspective on why the current
distinction between them needs to disappear.
Featuring case studies from internationally recognised brands such as
Goldman Sachs, Unilever, KPMG, Hitachi, Oxfam and the NHS, Inclusive
Talent Management shows that to achieve business objectives and gain
the competitive advantage, it is imperative that organizations take an
inclusive approach to talent management. It puts forward a compelling
and innovative case, raising questions not only for the HR community but
also to those in senior management positions, providing the practical
steps, global examples and models for incorporating diversity and
inclusion activities into talent management strategy.
