In the opinion of Vaiman and Collings (2013, p.1738), talent management strategy
determines an effective performance of an organisation. The human resource department of
an organisation needs to focus on the talent management of the organisation in order to
enhance the productivity of the entire business. Talent management refers to managing
talents within the organisation to acquire business objectives and goals. ASDA also develops
the firm strategy to management the talent within their organisation by retaining the talented
people in their organisation. Based on the modern competitive market in the retail sector it
has become important to develop the management practice within an organisation properly.
Through Talent management, the concerned company tries to acquire the high performance
from the employees and sustainability of the company in the competitive market.

As opined of Morris et al. (2014, p.725), in order to develop effective talent management, an
organisation needs to hire proper talent available in the market who can actually enhance the
productivity of the organisation. The human resource department of an organisation has to
attract the true talent in the organisation through the integrated process of recruitment. While

information regarding the capability of the concerned candidate. ASDA also recruits the
employees by judging their talent properly to analyses whether they are eligible to enhance
the productivity of the same. To recruit proper talent it uses online portal where they go
through the CVs of the candidate, even before recruiting employees, they acquire proper
information of the candidate regarding the efficiency through a practical test. After making

concerned company selects an employee.

The reward is given to the employees to motivate them and provide proper recognition to
efficient and talented employees. ASDA also provides rewards to the employees who are true

organisation.
Training and development process:
As opined by Oladapo (2014, p.19), after recruiting employee, the organisations provide
training to them in order to develop an idea of the job role which they need play with the
workplace. ASDA also develops this type of the training and development process where the
concerned company provide brief knowledge of the job to the employees through which the
management of the concerned company tries to generate talent within the organisation and
sharpens the existing talent within the same to acquire business objectives.

equality within the organisation and managing diversity, the employees can be motivated.
ASDA also maintains the equality management and diversity management through several
programmes. In these types of programmes, the concerned company ensures that they will
treat each employee equally and will be unbiased in every factor. This helps to motivate the
