This new, data-driven book teaches managers and HR executives how to identify a comprehensive and integrated set of talent practices that fit the evolving workplace and that will dramatically improve the effectiveness of all organizations.

Many talent management principles and practices now being used in organizations are obsolete as a result of the fluid nature of work. Globalization, technological advances, automation, the diversification of the workforce, the push for sustainable practices, and the increasing pace of transformation have wrought dramatic changes in the world of work. And yet a recent study showed that from 1995 to 2013 there was no significant growth in the way HR spends its time.

Based on extensive research by Lawler and his colleagues, this book identifies the new strategies, policies, and practices needed for talent management today.

What used to be good or best practices with respect to how people are recruited, selected, trained, assigned, developed, rewarded, and evaluated no longer fit. Today's hierarchical, bureaucratic talent management needs to become agile, strategic, and performance based. This is the first book to identify a comprehensive integrated set of talent practices that fit the changing workplace and that will dramatically improve the effectiveness of organizations.
