Morphology

talent + management

The meaning 'management of talented people and related HR processes' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'talent' (skilled people) with 'management' (organizing/supervising). Although in business contexts it can refer to specific HR systems or software, the compositional logic is clear and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would grasp the basic meaning.

Etymology

Talent management uses a simple image: talent means people's natural 'skills' and management is the work of looking after them. So it means the way a company finds, trains, and keeps its skilled workers.
