摘要：Talent management and retention are increasingly seen as an essential practice in business sustainability strategies. It has since expanded from the sporting fraternity and the arts, particularly in the entertainment industry to become a global practice. This paper discusses the purpose and strategies used for talent management. Using a case study approach that combines the use of Reflexive Account (a retrospective analysis) and content analysis of firm reports, this paper identifies the Human Resource management practices implemented by one firm, MTN-Uganda as a case that provides human resource practitioners with evidence of the practical utility of various talent management and retention strategies. The primary sources of information used in reporting on the case were obtained through reflexive analysis (2012-2015) and content analysis of firm reports (2007-2018). Information gaps were filled in by contact and answered queries through the Department of Corporate Services at MTN Uganda. Although there are many strategies for implementing talent management programs, their success is primarily pegged on the use of a mixed approach, with the Human Resource functions being supported by other management divisions to realise the return on investment sought through the implementation of talent management programs.
