Abstract
This paper examines an approach and the components of Human Talent Management (HTM), based on the history of staff management and the context of organizations. Using the historical evolution of matters related to staff management, the various approaches and models on the subject and the tendencies in staff administration as background, nowadays HTM must focus on achieving and maintaining competitive organizations, for which it is necessary to aim at the value chain of the organization through differentiated strategic action (DSA), which includes, among other things, the strategic objective of HTM, the skills of the human talent manager and human talent management indicators (HTMI). DSA should focus on two basic aspects to generate quantitative and qualitative balance: contribution to the performance area, through growth and cost reduction, and a fundamental philosophy or a general vision from the point of view of administration. In turn, five factors of internal and external nature were detected that should be handled from the HTM in order to maintain competitive organizations. This content is also developed in this study
