Summary:
The purpose of this study is to identify the barriers and challenges to the effectiveness of global talent management. Global talent management is important to study because multinational companies must be aware of the effective measures needed to sustain a strong talent pipeline. At the global level, managing the performance of individuals is not an easy task to complete, but the human resource department is able to accomplish this through various roles and methods. This research specifically identifies the four levels of challenges to effectiveness involving the individual, human resources, line manager, and overall talent management system. The study is based on twenty-five interview transcripts from three organizations: one professional services firm based in the United States (sixteen interviews), one bank based in the United Kingdom (seven interviews), and one bank based in the United States (two interviews). The results show that within the four levels, re-entry, transparency, expatriate expectations, benchmarks, long term strategy, and line manager capability were common challenges voiced by the interviewees in the three organizations.
