Abstract
When considering performance management, much of the discussion centers on the elements of a performance plan such as the work plan or the performance appraisal. Important as these and the other elements of measuring performance are, they do not speak to the development of the Performance Management System (PMS). This paper will address the multiple factors that come together to create the PMS. Special attention will be given to the means by which an organization communicates its strategy and combines it with performance management and development as a means of establishing an innovative workforce and brand based on sound, ethical practices.

Talent management as it exists today poses a considerable challenge to Human Resource Management (HRM) on a global scale.

Because quality talent is increasingly savvy, difficult to obtain, and retain HRM must have a talent management program that impacts organizational productivity and market share by first hiring the right people to fill positions. In order to accomplish the proper placement, Cappelli (2013) states that the position components must be clearly defined prior to filling in order to support effective hiring practices and strategic goals.
