MARTIN Pascal ESSCA Ecole de Management LUNAM Université
Abstract
The interest of this paper is to better understand how the retention of professional talent is addressed in an organizational system. First, we present, how the concept of retention and professional talent are considered in academic and scientific literature. Then, we present the methodology and results of an empirical study based on a large French service firm. We show that the retention of professional talent is at the heart of current concerns in Human Resources and managers concerned with their company career.
