Talent Management according to Lewis and Heckman’s (2006) comprises of three different conceptions which are as follows a) a collection of typical human resource department practices, b) the flow of human resources throughout the organization, and thirdly c) sourcing, developing and rewarding employee talent. There have been many practices adopted by different industries in order to manage the talent available with them such as team building, training, identifying talent, talent development, constant feedback etc. Talent management starts with recruitment process, alignment of the workforce to the organization, develop the people and get constant feedback to help in performance of an individual or an organization.
