The Importance of a Framework for the Implementation of Technologies Supporting Talent Management

The speed and scale of technological change are raising concerns about the extent to which new technologies will radically transform workplaces. Competition for the best talent is being intensified, and talent management requires new approaches and innovative strategies for developing talent based on corporate culture and its unique properties. By implementing and adopting technology in Human Resources Management (HRM), organizations create a digital employee lifecycle that spans from the initial Hiring Process to encompassing areas such as Performance Management, Learning and Development until the Offboarding, shaping a Talent Management journey. Despite the implementation of technologies being a continuous practice observed in numerous organizations, there are still challenges. The HRM technological market has become massive, and concerns arise about adopting these technologies’ costs, practicality, and purpose. Because of that, designing strategies for implementing technologies in HRM, specifically in talent management, is hard to overview. In this context, this document aims to present the necessity and significance in developing a framework that aggregates the implementation process of technologies in talent management supported by Design Science Research (DSR). The holistic perspective of the forthcoming framework consolidates insights into business challenges and their correlation with technology selection, technological capabilities, implementation procedures, as well as anticipated metrics and their impact.
