Every week, I review blogs and other publications that cover talent development to find the very best talent development posts. This week, you’ll find pointers to pieces using an auction to identify your best talent, valuing talent, securing the talent advantage in growth markets, and maximizing your employees’ talent.

From Personnel Today: Valuing your Talent: measuring and reporting human capital metrics
“If ‘people are our most important asset’, why are their skills and knowledge so poorly measured and reported by organisations? Peter Cheese discusses Valuing your Talent, a major new research and engagement programme launched at the CIPD annual conference last month.”
From the London Business School: Securing the talent advantage in key growth markets
“Attracting talent in emerging markets has always been a challenge for Western multinationals. Christoffer Ellehuus of Corporate Executive Board (CEB) says that the need to become the employer of choice is now imperative if these companies are to succeed in emerging markets.”

It’s also hard to remain objective about a team that you are seeing and operating with day in and day out. For that reason, it can be challenging to see the signs that your team is not happy and that its talent and potential is not being maximized. However, if someone quits or you lose someone that you have invested a lot of energy and money in, it can be a devastating and costly loss to the business. Here are three warning signs that your employees may not be as invested as you’d like them to be.”
