Talent management programmes are key to making employees feel engaged at work, according to new research from Capgemini consulting and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).

The study, comprised of a survey of 300 respondents and interviews with senior leaders in a talent programme within each organisation, shows 81% of respondents said talent management programmes make them feel more engaged at work

The study also shows that the top reason for wanting to be a participant in the programmes is the belief that the development activities offered help people in the future (84%). More than half (52%) also hoped the programme would further their progress up the company at a faster pace.
