Performance management is the systematic process of planning, monitoring, and developing employee work to achieve organizational goals. Talent management is a set of integrated HR processes to attract, develop, motivate, and retain productive employees to create a high-performance organization. Key differences include performance management focuses on ongoing feedback while performance appraisal assesses employees annually, and talent management ensures the right employees are ready to achieve strategic goals both currently and in the future. Effective talent management requires assessing employees, developing a talent strategy and system, and monitoring processes to retain key talent.
