Literature Review:
As said byPatrick, (2019), every organisation is required to manage and retained their
employees so that they can gain competitive advantage in industry. Thus HR perform talent
management concept in which focus is on improving employee efficiency, train them, do performance
review, etc. these all enable in increasing their efficiency. The turnover of employees is well
maintained because they employees are well understood and improvement in the company is made
according to them so that there is going to be better functioning and support and trust of the
employees. Talent management is going to help the employees also find a balance between personal
and professional life as well as satisfaction with the work they are doing in the organization which is
going to make the organization have strong operations. There are a lot of opportunities which the
employees of the organization are going to find if there is going to be effective talent which is being
maintained in the company because the employees use their talent to get the tasks done. The tasks are
going to be achieved after which means the objectives and goals are going to be achieved and that is a
great factor for Tesco because is able to maintain their customer and market share.
The Poisat, Mey and Sharp, (2018), suggested that talent management is one of the most
important part of the modern era business management because the issues which the organization
these days are facing is affecting the business objectives and goals due to low retention rate and other
issues the employee are facing. The management need to retain the best for their talent so that they
can control the impact on the business which can lead to other failure in business need to be
controlled.
As per the view of Mohajan (2018), Talent management is important for organization so that
they can make the best resources in HRM process and develop the Talent for the organization to
improve the working of the business. Better talent improves the higher satisfaction in the business
working and better employee with great talent is always profitable for the business. Talent need to be
improved in business so that they can improve the working and also develop the process in which they
4

can make sure that they are providing the proper training and development in the organization.
According to the Ørngreen. and Levinsen (2017), the process of talent development and training is
one of the most important part of business so that the process of development in business. The
employees need to performance according to the expectations of the management which is present in
the organization.
According to the Deters, (2017), it is critically analysed that the process of talent management
need to be done in the prominent ways so the process of developing the retention and increasing of
effectiveness into the management can be obtained. The organization need to make sure that they
create a great career development offering to the employee. The Farndale, Morley and Valverde,
(2019), feels that the talent management can be beneficial as well as can be negative for the
organization if the personal grievances take place into workplace. It is important to maintain the
working culture so that employees can rely on the organization and improve performance in
development of the business for the organization. Prioritize results is one of the practices that can
make a huge impact in the business and it can also enhance the business performance which can
further lead to development in better results.
Rostam, (2019) suggested that it is important practices for the business as they can lead to a lot
of changes into the working of the business which can lead to a lot of things in the business. The
impact of the talent management help in sustainability of the business and performance of the
organization which is one of the major responsibility of the business. They can utilise the talent
management to create the best of the talent into the organization and achieve business objective by
talent. It also help the organization in minimizing the training and development cost on the new
employee the organization expense. It can be critically analysed that the talent management provide a
great impact on the retention of the employee and providing them with good opportunities in career
but on the other hand there are issues which employee faces in the business due to the inefficiency of
the management and the working culture which impact the behaviour of the employee and caused
negative performance towards the organization.
