A recent HBR article says: "It’s a worldwide trend that has been under way for nearly a decade: Responsibility for talent management is shifting from HR to frontline executives. The transition is driven partly by cost cutting—head counts in HR departments fell sharply during the Great Recession—but it is also fueled by the recognition that many aspects of talent management are best handled by day-to-day managers. In a 2005 Australian study, 70% of respondents said that line managers had taken over many HR tasks in their firms during the previous five years. In a 2013 survey of UK companies, senior executives reported playing a much bigger role than HR departments in setting employees’ development goals. In the United States, 45% of the HR departments surveyed plan to restructure before the end of 2013, in part to reflect this trend. And research by CEB shows that when line managers, rather than HR, are responsible for recruiting, performance management, and retention, companies are 29% more successful at those tasks." What are you doing with your line managers in order to prepare them for this phenomenal change that is underway? Are you line managers trained to conduct effective interviews, selection and retention? Are your managers trained to bring the best out of your workforce?
