EMPLOYEE AWARENESS ON TALENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN BANKING SECTOR: A STUDY WITH SPECIAL REFERNCE TO SELECT BANKS IN KALABURAGI DISTRICT

Talent management has become a critical component of human resource management in the banking sector. The present study concludes that employees of both SBI and HDFC Bank in Kalaburagi District possess a satisfactory level of awareness regarding talent management practices implemented by their organizations. The results indicate positive perceptions toward talent identification, employee development, organizational communication, and talent retention initiatives. Furthermore, the study found no significant difference between public and private sector bank employees in terms of awareness of talent management practices. This suggests that both sectors have made considerable efforts to promote talent management among their workforce. Therefore, banks should continue to strengthen communication, employee engagement, and developmental opportunities to further enhance awareness and maximize the effectiveness of talent management practices, ultimately contributing to organizational growth and employee retention.
