What is Integrated Talent Management?

As a part of UC's systemwide HR strategic plan, talent management integrates the HR functions of talent planning, acquisition, onboarding, performance, learning and succession into an interconnected whole. It provides the structure and tools necessary to hire, deploy, develop and retain the best people in their respective fields.

Within the talent management continuum, HR and the manager work together to guide the employee experience, through every phase of employment — from hire to retirement or transition. The manager delivers guidance through frequent feedback, professional and career development and engagement activities, all of which are aligned with the organization’s short- and long-term goals.

Talent management delivers tangible results that impact engagement, such as:

  • Higher performance, aligned with organizational goals
  • Better retention of top performers
  • Greater job satisfaction

This website collects the best information, research, practices and tools from across the UC system to help managers in their talent management efforts.
