The Manager's Toolkit

WHY IS TALENT MANAGEMENT SO IMPORTANT?

Successful Talent Management will ensure our business has ‘ bench strength ’ or ‘depth’ that can adapt to all challenges. Good Talent Management can inspire our high performing employees to take on new challenges and roles within Chivas and/or Pernod Ricard. Taking the time to engage in meaningful conversations and using professional networking tools such as Linked-In are an extremely powerful means of identifying and engaging potential talent

Effective talent management is about identifying, developing, en gaging and retaining your strong performing team members so that our business is capable of meeting its strategic and operational goals. If this is done well then we create a ‘ sustainable pipeline of talent’ that can readily cope with change, yet still ensure business critical roles are carried out. Through good recruitment and selection practices you can attract new talent from other companies, from within our Group or from other business areas within Chivas Brothers. Getting to know your team and their strengths, weaknesses and potential is essential to ensuring that you address any potential skills gaps or risks to the business from having critical roles without any successor or contingency. Using development plans and seeking new challenges and opportunities for your team members will not only close any skills or knowledge gaps but will motivate and encourage your talented team members to develop their careers within Chivas Brothers or Pernod Ricard.
