 Abstract:

Talent management is of utmost significance in contemporary organizations striving to navigate the challenges of the current environment effectively. This research aims to explore the perspectives of talent management development practices in the Sultanate of Oman and assess the influence of digital skills, human centric culture, employee wellbeing, and HR analytics on shaping talent management in the region. Employing a quantitative approach, the study was conducted across various organizations in the Sultanate. The findings are based on data collected from a sample of 207 respondents comprising human resource managers from diverse sectors in the Sultanate of Oman, obtained through an online questionnaire using nonprobability sampling. The study substantiates that variables such as digital skills, employee wellbeing, human centric culture, and HR analytics exhibit a significant positive association with talent management, thereby bolstering the mechanisms of talent management within companies in the Sultanate of Oman. These results have immediate implications for talent management practices, ensuring efficient discovery, attraction, development, evaluation, and retention of talented personnel within organizations. As a recommendation, this study proposes that all organizations in the Sultanate of Oman devise a comprehensive list of processes and HR activities to address talent management challenges in the post-COVID era, ultimately enhancing work efficiency and adeptly responding to emerging trends.
