The Evolution of Executive Talent Management: An Integrated Approach.

In the ever-changing global corporate landscape, companies are continuously restructuring and downsizing and changing their business models. Invariably, restructuring and downsizing often lead to retrenchments. ?Globally, retrenchments and employee displacements are taking place at a rapid rate. In the international corporate environment, providing career transition and outplacement support to impacted employees is commonplace – USA, Australia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Far East including Japan and India. In the process, corporate entities don’t only illustrate their commitment to ethical business practices, but also boosts their employee value proposition to the talent world out there.

Relaunching the Careers of Displaced Executives Has Become a Global Economic Imperative. The Human Capital Group and its global partners in the Career Star Group share this global strategic imperative.

In the New World of Work, integrated talent management has become a strategic imperative.

Global labour markets are experiencing unprecedented disruption due to technological transformation, economic uncertainty and shifting demographic realities. Organisations worldwide are undergoing significant restructuring, resulting in the displacement of experience executives and professionals across all sectors. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in developing economies, including South Africa and across the African continent, where economic volatility compounds the challenges of professional reintegration.

Dr Norman Chorn is an associate partner of The Human Capital Group. These reflections for 2025 are also critical for executives to contemplate when considering career strategy. Unfortunately, in the work that we do as executive search professionals and executive coaches and career strategy coaches, we often find that these reflections are mostly absent in career continuation and career resilience thoughts. Thank you Norman.
