Abstract

Talent management has become a vital and strategic issue for healthcare organizations globally due to the global shortage of trained and competent workers, as well as the fast rising demands from aging populations and complex patient needs. The dynamic nature of healthcare services, which necessitate highly specialized, flexible, and multidisciplinary teams to operate effectively, exacerbates this problem even further. This literature review compiles and evaluates a broad range of previous academic research and empirical findings in an attempt to fully explore the current environment and the complex issues surrounding talent management in the healthcare sector.Many healthcare companies still struggle with human resources, even after using a variety of theories, models, and strategic initiatives in various circumstances. The review highlights the need for integrated and flexible talent management solutions, points out persistent gaps in policy and practice, and ends with well-informed suggestions for future research avenues and tactical advancements in the area.
