The migration to a cohesive learning organization where learning and development activities are not only tied to HR activities, but also to business objectives, can seem daunting and complex. war for talent are those taking an integrated approach to learning and HR by implementing uniﬁed talent management systems. Talent management solutions have emerged as an option to meet the needs of executives, managers and employees through one system and unify the information across applications such as learning, performance, compensation, career development and succession planning. The combination of learning with HR through talent management not only offers a holistic view for all of a company’s stakeholders, it enables the learning and HR organizations to seamlessly share information and organize cross functionally. Learning Management’s Role in Holistic Talent Management While some mistakenly identify learning management as a “nice to have” in the spectrum of integrated talent management processes, today’s leading organizations carefully are coordinating or merging their learning and HR processes to develop employees to their fullest potential. They recognize the need to position learning as the cornerstone of their talent management implementations, drive the advancement of their employees’ skills and increase workforce productivity. For example, organizations that fuse the two can not only administer an employee’s annual performance review, they also can use the performance appraisal to establish actionable learning plans that will result in greater employee performance and goal achievement. Employees can then be compensated and rewarded for their performance.
