Talent Management is a hot topic for many of us in the public sector and that is definitely true with the members of the social network, GovLoop. My recent post, “Talent Management: When the Question Is, Should I Stay or Should I Go?” was highlighted as a featured blog to the entire GovLoop community and we secured some great ideas.

Keep us posted on your best practices, innovations facilitated by new technologies, and strategies for achieving results.
