What Is Total Talent Management (TTM)?

TTM is a game-changer in workforce planning. It combines Talent Acquisition (covering contingent and permanent workers) and Talent Management (including development, mobility, onboarding/offboarding, and retention) into one seamless strategy

Talent acquisition includes 2 modules:


Contingent Employees: Temporary workers, consultants, contractors, and even students.

Non-Contingent Employees: This covers your permanent team members.


Together, these pillars ensure your organization has the flexibility, scalability, and engagement strategies to thrive in a fast-paced business environment.

Total Talent Management (TTM) is a transformative approach in workforce planning that integrates Talent Acquisition and Talent Management into a unified strategy. It ensures businesses have the right mix of contingent and non-contingent employees, while also focusing on talent development, internal mobility, smooth transitions, and retention to optimize overall performance.
