  • 1.  Inclusive talent management course materials?

    Posted 12-21-2021 15:30
    Hi, colleagues.

    This spring, I'm teaching a new course (for me) in talent management.  I'd like for the course to focus on talent management for equity and inclusion, a more critical approach to talent management.  Do you have any suggestions for texts, articles, or other teaching tools?  I'd greatly appreciate your suggestions!

    Best,

    Dear Holly,

     

    What a great approach to teaching talent management! Very timely and needed!

     

    My colleagues and I published several papers and produced other materials highlighting the obstacles refugees face in finding meaningful employment. The materials include a short video:

    A podcast:

    A guide for employers (we are just finalizing a global version of the guide):

    And a few articles:

    Szkudlarek, B., Nardon, L., & Toh, S. M. (2021). A temporal perspective on refugee employment–Advancing HRM theory and practice. Human Resource Management Journal.

     

    Perhaps these could be of interest.

    All the very best with your exciting course!

     

    Best regards,

    Thank you, Bettina.  I appreciate this information and for a perspective that I had not considered at all.  All of the suggestions have energized my course prep!

    Dear Holly,

    I think a critical approach to talent management is interesting and necessary. See, for example, a recent critical review of the literature on talent management (Kwon & Jang, 2021).

    Furthermore, I would place talent management in the broader context of HR differentiation taking into account 3 levels of analysis (intended, actual, perceived) (Marescaux et al., 2021) and different dimensions (Piasecki, 2020).

    Best regards,
