Challenges In Global Talent Management And How To Overcome Them

Abstract

This paper aims to identify and analyze the key challenges inherent in global talent management (GTM), focusing particularly on cultural differences, legal complexities, language barriers, talent retention, and technological challenges. It seeks to propose actionable solutions that can be adopted by organizations, particularly in the creative industries and other sectors, to effectively manage these challenges. The study utilizes a comprehensive literature review, integrating insights from various academic journals, industry reports, and real-world case studies from multinational corporations such as IBM, Siemens, and Unilever. This approach allows for a thorough examination of both the theoretical and practical aspects of GTM, providing a balanced perspective on the challenges and potential solutions. The research expresses that while cultural misunderstandings, legal and regulatory hurdles, and communication barriers pose major challenges to global talent management, these can be reduced through targeted strategies such as cultural sensitivity training, collaboration with legal experts, and the adoption of multilingual communication platforms. Furthermore, the study shows the importance of leveraging advanced technological tools and offering competitive compensation packages to retain top talent in a competitive global market.
