Abstract

This chapter offers insights into the relationship between talent management and hidden inequalities. To achieve this, it explores the concept of talent management, and presents the significant role that diversity management, organisational culture, organisational justice and performance management play in retaining and managing talent in organisations by describing a number of hidden inequalities that exist in organisational life. In addition, it explains how online talent platforms can be an effective tool in addressing hidden inequality, and it summarises key challenges for talent management. Finally, aiming to help organisations and human resource departments to gain a deeper understanding of this relationship and reflect on the lessons learnt, it presents four case studies that describe situations where hidden and overt inequalities can lead to discrimination, and where the recruitment and retention of talent management have been challenged.
