Talent Management Strategy
What is Talent Management?
Talent management includes all the way an organization brings employees on board, develops and retains high-performing employees and aligns their skills and potential with the organization’s needs.
In 2024, City Human Resources completed a Harvard Bloomberg Leadership initiative to ensure we were using evidence-based practices as we developed an equitable Talent Management Strategy that provided clear career growth opportunities. We have developed a Talent Management strategy to meet the following goals:
- Hire a talented and diverse workforce
- Retain an engaged and diverse workforce where all employees feel they belong
- Develop our employees and organization to be an inclusive and high performing
- Implement innovative and progressive practices
We identified the following seven components.
