CIPD's insight
Talent management(Oct 2022)
Talent management seeks to attract, identify, develop, engage, retain and deploy individuals who are considered particularly valuable to an organisation. To be effective, it needs to align with strategic business objectives. By managing talent strategically, organisations can build a high-performance workplace, foster a learning climate, add value to their employer brand, and improve diversity management.
For these reasons, people professionals consider talent management to be a key priority. The CIPD Profession Map also recognises talent management as one of the special knowledge areas within the people profession and sets out the expected standards to follow.
Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the workplace (Nov 2022)
Promoting and delivering EDI in the workplace is an essential aspect of good people management. To reap the benefits of EDI, it's about creating working environments and cultures where every individual can feel safe, a sense of belonging and is empowered to achieve their full potential.Whilst legal frameworks vary across different countries, in the UK the Equality Act 2010 provides legal protection for nine protected characteristics: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation. However, an effective EDI strategy goes beyond legal compliance and seeks to take an intersectional approach adding value to an organisation, contributing to the wellbeing and equality of outcomes and impact on all employees.
