Great blog! you explained the concept of capacity building and talent mobility in the context of Human Resource Management. The emphasis on empowering employees through skill development and creating a supportive work culture is commendable. According to Fanany (2020), It's evident that organizations can truly thrive by investing in their workforce and promoting diversity and inclusion. What are the key benefits of implementing a combined approach of capacity building and talent mobility in organizations? Are there any specific industries or sectors where this approach has shown particularly significant results?
Thank you Divvigaa for the comment! The combined approach of capacity building and talent mobility benefits the organization by enabling the recruitments fast, effective and less costly, as the experiences have shown. Regarding any sector where this showed particularly significant results is something we still need to investigate into, I believe.
Thilak, This is an interesting publication to read, and I completely agree with your suggestions and processes that you mentioned in the blog in order to improve capacity building in an organization. The last graphic clearly depicted the way consequences affect the organization. There are some departments in an organization that have few employees, and it is practically impossible to get a promotion even though you are well qualified. In such an instance, how is this process going to work?
Thank you Nuwan for the comment. If one went by Fredrick Taylor's Scientific Management School theory and the concept of value for money, the issue raised (i.e. impossibility of getting a promotion even though the person is well qualified) wouldn't have arisen, I believe. Unfortunately it is not the case at times as the managers lack knowledge in HRM.

Your sharing is valuable.

Specifically, capacity-building encompasses the country’s human, scientific, technological, organizational, institutional, and resource capabilities”.
UNDP (1998, p. X) define capacity as: “the ability of individuals and organizations or organizational units to perform functions effectively, efficiently and sustainably”.

An active culture of talent mobility can help minimize complacency and create an environment of healthy change — and with it an agile environment that can handle the unexpected.
