Introduction
This GLOMACS Strategic Talent Management and Competency Mapping for Talent Growth training course equips you to identify, develop and retain the people who drive your organisation's growth. In a fast-changing economic landscape, losing or failing to recruit the best talent can undermine sustainability, and aligning people capabilities with strategic goals is essential for competitive advantage.

You will design development plans, career paths, mentoring and reward strategies, and lead calibration and Organisational Capability Review meetings for active succession planning. AI and digital tools are explored throughout, so you leave with actionable skills to build a high-performing, future-ready workforce and a practical plan for strengthening talent growth in your own organisation.
