Talent Management in Poland: Challenges, Strategies and Opportunities

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Global Talent Management

Part of the book series: Management for Professionals ((MANAGPROF))

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to diagnose the state of theory and practice in the area of talent management (TM) in Poland. Against the background of the conceptual achievements made by some Polish experts in this field, the results of research conducted by research institutions will be presented in the frame of TM in companies in Poland. So there will be just an element of Polish reality in that area (not extenuating to a more general thesis about talent management in Poland), but it enables an outline of the key TM challenges and strategies needed to overcome these challenges and the future opportunities which exist both in Polish companies and in global business practice. The content of the chapter includes the definition of “talent” and models of talent management. Also the practice of talent management in Poland was shown.
