Executive Talent Management

What is it?

Talent Management (TM) is a set of integrated processes designed to attract, develop, motivate, and retain productive, engaged employees.

Executives have ongoing discussions with their managers about performance and talent management.
Each fall, Executives are invited to update their Talent Management Questionnaire through ETMS (Executive Talent Management System). Managers engage direct reports in a one-on-one dialogue, and complete their section of the questionnaire which includes a proposed TM Talent Map for Executives.
Senior leaders meet to review results and approve TM placements for the department overall and consider opportunities to manage talent, including, for example, staffing positions that may soon become vacant.
Managers meet with executives to confirm the talent placement and consider next steps, as needed.
