Abstract
A key focus for human resources professionals and business managers since the 1990s has been to research, develop, and implement stronger and more effective retention strategies for key staff as the business environment in which they operate continues to change incrementally. Talent management has transformed from the very basic ‘hiring and firing’ scenario of the late 1980s and early 1990s to incorporate diverse strategies to attract, retain, and develop essential intellectual capital within the business.
The increasing prevalence of employees within the intellect sector changes the nature of the relationship with their employer from employee to that of services provider.
