To explore different talent management strategies used by HSBC for major purpose of

According to viewpoint of Mupepi (2017), there are various talent management
strategies that can be used by businesses in order to meet their business objectives and to attain
overall objectives. The talent management is a concept which is primarily used by businesses
for attracting and retaining talented workforce so that organisation can be flourished and at the
same time right candidate can be selected over vacant position. Some of the prominent talent
management strategies are listed below:
 Providing regular training opportunity: Trainings are helpful for employees to

management organising such trainings are necessary as these would be helpful for the
