The importance of talent management in ensuring employability

Abstract

Globalization and advanced technology make it necessary for competing businesses to be solution-oriented in their efforts to survive. The highest contribution to this solution is possible through talent management practices such as attracting, selecting, engaging, rewarding, training and retaining talented employees. Employability is the ability of employees to have a job, to avoid unemployment, to have the ability to change jobs and to make career plans. In this context, in order to determine the effect of talent management on the perceptions of employability, this study was conducted with 401 health care employees in the public and private sectors in Bursa province on the basis of relational survey model by using convenience sampling on a voluntary basis. As a result of the correlation analysis conducted with the obtained data, a positive and moderately significant relationship was found between talent management and employability with r=0.412 (p <0.05). ANOVA revealed a significant difference (p<0.05 significance level) between age (p=0.046), education (p=0.000), title (p=0.000) and talent management, and between employability and education (p=0.000) and title (p=0.000).
