LITERATURE REVIEW
Basic concept of Process talent management in travel and tourism
With view points of “Prachi Juneja” Talent management is a process for identifying the
vacant position, hire new candidates and develop new skills in the employee and retain them for
the long period of time. People are the most important resource in the organisation so right
candidate should be selected in the management team (Sanda, ., Anigbogu and Molwus, 2016).
In the competitive market, talent management has become the key strategies to identify and fill
the gap in the organisation. Here process regulates the entry and exist of the employees in the
management team. It has a different stages in the talent process such as requirement in team, it is
a preparing stage of identifying the talent place in the organisation. Under sourcing the talent,
candidates are target and match with the required skills and knowledge. This is a main activity in
the management to search for the best suitable candidates for the better of the enterprise.
Attracting the talent is another important thing as best employees are chosen for the manger then
hiring process start in the team. Under selection process, candidates are having first round with
the interview here candidates are examine under the skills talent and few are selected for the
next process. Further they are provided with the training and development programs where they
can improve their skills and increasing the skills and knowledge about certain subjects. After
training the employees, company tries to retain such employees in the organisation. retention
depends in various factors such as pay package, job specification and personal development
(Shrivastava, 2018). The talent team give promotion to best performance in the project and
motivates them to increase their outcomes in the organisation. Performance appraisal is a
measure to check the performance of the employees and see how much Responsibility they can
handle in the workplace. Employees have a great career in the organisation and are at the peak
of their career, after serving for longer period of time in the organisation. Employees wants to
exit from the company, they can exist by retiring from the work. Therefore, it has been
concluded that talent management play very essential role as it mainly focuses on placing right
candidate on the right place at the right time. By using this approach, managers can easily fill the
vacant job role in an effective manner and produce positive results.

With instance to Neilson company, uses talent management process to as a important
resource for the human resource in the firm. Selecting the best candidates from the market is a
top priority for any organisation in recent time. Choosing best employees are never ending
process in the organisation as their help in achieving goals and objectives (Singh and Sharma,
2015). Talent team follow steps to hire the right candidates and make such employees to be more
attracting in their outcomes. All the organisation present in the environment focus enhancing the
human resource in its management team to make best use of human forces in the organisation to
achieve the goal and objectives.
Various issues which can arise in course of implementation of process of talent management
As per the view point of (Sparrow, Hird and Cooper, 2015), it has been said that there
are various issues faced by the managers of an organisation in order to managing talent of the
staff members working within the company. Talent management is one of the method which is
implemented by the managers where they identify vacant job position, hire capable and suitable
individual for the job role. It is a systematic method where managers have to fill the vacant job
position so that best and suitable person will be hire in order to accomplish there goals and
objective in an effective manner. Some of the major issues faced by managers includes high
pressure for working in an effective manner. It is the method where managers of the company
identify the job position for which individual are required to fill the vacant job position, for this,
managers develop skills and expertise of the individual person according to the requirements of
position and retain them for a longer period of time. Along with this, it has also been said that
there are some employees who have skills and capabilities in order to perform their work but
they are not working in an effective manner which might affect the overall performance of the
company. Due to demotivation and dissatisfaction of staff members, efficiency of staff members
is affected. On the other hand, it has also been examined that if talent management strategy is
adopted in an effective manner within the organisation, it will produce positive results and help
in gaining competitive advantages.
These are the issues which are mainly faced by the companies while they implement
talent management strategies within their workplace. Along with this, another issue faced by
managers while implementing talent management strategies, is that there is not effective
leadership strategies adopted by them in order to motivate and encourage their staff members.

Therefore, it is very essential for the management team of the company to adopt effective
leadership style so that they can enhance the skills and capabilities of staff members in an
effective manner. Every business organisation have their own goals and objectives which are
required to be attain by them in an effective manner. Every individual have their own skills and
capabilities which are quite different from the objectives of the company therefore, managers are
required to adopt the effective leadership style so that they can motivate their staff members in
an effective manner.
For example in Neilosn, higher authorities of the company are willing to develop
effective and adequate efforts with the help of which they can enhance their profitability. Job
satisfaction is one of the most crucial element which highly reduces the profitability as well as
performance of the company in a negative manner (SSparrow and Makram, 2015). This will
affect the brand image of the company in an adverse way which reduced their income level as
well as market share of the company.
Strategies for effective implementation of process of talent management at the workplace
as per the view point of (Taylor, 2018), it has been said that talent management is one of the
element of human resource management where its basic functioning is to acquire, retain, select
as well as recruit high skilled and talented individuals within the workplace. There are ample
number of approaches which need to be adopted by the managers of the company so that they
can develop best and most suitable plan for the process of talent management. It has also been
identified that there are ample number of strategies and policies which need to be used by the
management team such as increasing the understanding of job descriptions for a specific
individual of staff member). It is very essential for an individual to fit easily within the
workplace and adopt the working culture in an effective manner. It is the factor which highly
influences the performance of the employees. Best and most effective strategy is Categorisation
of candidates cultural fit. In addition to this there are some other approaches used by the
management team where they provide training and development sessions to their staff members
with the help of which they can enhance the performance and productivity of the company.
Along with this, it is the strategy with the help of which efficiency of the worker will be
enhanced in an effective manner. But on the other hand, sometimes by using such strategies
within the organisation might create negative environment such as conflicts and disputes. All

these might affect the overall outcome in a negative manner. Furthermore, one of the other
strategy which is required by the management team of the company is listening to the staff
members and taking their thoughts and opinions. This will help in order to perform their task in
an effective manner by analysing various thoughts and opinions. Along with this, it will assist in
enhancing the participation of staff members within the decision making process (Thunnissen,
M., 2016).
All these strategies plays very essential role in order to perform their functions in an
effective manner. Therefore these strategies must be adopted by the staff members in order to
perform all the talent management functions in an effective manner. This will assist the
managers in order to attain competitive advantage at the marketplace available at the external
environment.
Conclusion:
With the help of above mentioned literature review, it has been said that talent
management is one of the most essential process used by every business organisations. Talent
management aid in filling the vacant job position, retaining potential staff members for a long
period of time. Along with this, it has been examined that there are various issues and problems
faced by managers while implementing talent management strategies within the organisation.
Ineffective leadership style affect the overall execution process in a negative manner. This as a
result affect the whole performance in a negative manner.

saves their cost of hiring new candidate (Mutiara, Prasetyo, and Widya, 201).
 The company can also organise or conducts activities related to their objective for
employees so that their talent brings out which helps company to properly analyse the
efficiency level of their subordinates. This will assist them the business organisation in
order to enhance their performance of the company and will be able to maintain their
brand image strong and positive.

issues of subordinates because the reason behind their success is employees only.

REFLECTION
While conducting the activities related to research, I faced issues and difficulties which
beings down my confidence level. But my target is to complete my research within specified
time so I deal with issues effectively and work with full potential and puts my hard work in
research. During the research, I realized that it is important to identify and keep ourself updated
with the market trends (Russell and Bennett, 2015). The research takes time due to lack of
problem solving skills in me. With this, I am not able to share my thoughts with others due to my
inefficient communication skills. The questionnaire prepared by me need to fill by people and I
found it difficult to consume time of people as they did not take so much interest which affect
my research outcome negatively. After the completion of my research, my interpersonal and
problem solving skill is improved which help me in my coming future. Moreover, my
communication skill is improved while interacting with others or with the respondents. My
confidence level is enhanced due to which I can communicate with anyone without hesitation or
I can easily describe my thoughts as well as opinions in front of audience appropriately. I learned
how to manage the things according to the time which has help me in future to handle things
properly and achieve the task on time. It was a good experience for me & I ensure to do other
future research project in a defined manner. At last, I learned to manage tasks properly within the
time frame which also helps me in my upcoming future. Various skills such as making effective
communication, extracting of relevant information are some of the skills that I learned while I
was conducting the primary research with help of questionnaire. After that I also developed
suitable skills for making analysis of collected information this is going to help me in long run as
there is requirement of competence to make analysis of collected information and draw adequate
conclusions.
