Impact of Demographic Factors on Talent Management of Technical Employees in Manufacturing Sector of Uttarakhand

Abstract

In the hypercompetitive environment, the organizations are adopting various pro- employee practices to make them suitable to attract the industry's best talent. It has become challenging for employers to attract and retain talent. Given this restraint, organizations pay great attention to talent management practices and identify the significant factors that help keep talent. Though big multinationals are quite ahead in this race, Small and medium scale companies are finding it extremely difficult to maintain their technical employees.

In some of the cases, it has been observed that they cannot work with their full capacities due to a lack of talented employees.

This study is carried out to  find out how demographic variable such as age, gender, and level of work affects the talent management variables and retention of the technical employees in manufacturing units of Uttarakhand. The sample size for the study was 384 technical employees working at various levels of management with diverse backgrounds. The result shows that age, gender, and management level have a significant impact on the effectiveness of talent management. Further, we found that people working in lower caders are less motivated by talent management practices in the manufacturing sector.
