Abstract

Effectively and efficiently managing talent in organizations of today can help companies to keep their best workers. Organizations that have the capacity to hire, groom, and retain talented workers could reach elevated performance levels, which could be beneficial to both the individual and the organization. Yet, many organizations experience issues when executing and maintaining talent management in their workplaces. This study investigates what challenges human resources and organizational development personnel encounter when implementing talent management in public sector organizations in Ministry of Environment and Forestry Indonesia. The research question for this study is: to explain and elaborate What challenges do state and local government agencies human resources and organizational development personnel encounter when implementing talent management ?. Thematic analysis was used to discuss the themes that were developed. Six themes were discovered: recruitment issues, lack of funding for resources (pay and budget), time-management (timeconstraints), competition, buy-in, and responses to change (accepting and resisting change). This study contributes to scholarly literature, provides overall knowledge about talent management challenges, and gives practical implications that many public sector organizations can use. Talent management will be present in Indonesia especially in Ministry of Environment and Forestry organizations. In addition, these public sector organizations have some robust programs in place. However, challenges still surface and some are beyond the control of human resources and organizational development personnel. Ministry of Environment and Forestry organizations must find ways to allocate additional funding to the development of talent, as these are the people who will become future leaders in organizations. The study findings may assist Ministry of Environment and Forestry organizations with creating and maintaining better talent management programs. Some recommendations for future research include conducting a qualitative research study that encompasses a larger population and sampling frame to add more perspectives from ex-employees and current employees, other than management and leadership. Another recommendation would be to study what challenges organizations face when talented employees leave. Also, future research could be to conduct a qualitative study that will consider what percentages of organizations experience difficulties during talent management implementation.Keywords : Talent Management, Public Sector Organization, Ministry of Environment and Forestry
