Fostering career development in organizations

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Organizations strive to become peak performers and maintain this status. To enable this, they have to develop effective ways of managing their resources. I argue that each organization should aim to develop a mixed way for achieving this. By suggesting a ‘mixed way’, I mean having a combination of generic ‘best practice’, alongside its unique own way of doing things. Such an approach may be applicable for all facets of organizational resource management, including managing the human factor. In this chapter I will outline what it means to be a peak-performing organization when it comes to talent management, and how organizations may reach this status by applying systematic managerial strategy, policies and practice.
