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 can also mean a software system that helps do this care in one place. The idea is the same: the system holds information and tools to find, train, and review employees, so it helps companies manage their workers' 'skills' in one place.
