Abstract

This review article examines the relationship between human talent management and labor productivity, emphasizing its strategic impact on organizational performance. Using a narrative and analytical approach, it explores recent literature linking HR practices, such as recruitment, training, performance evaluation, and employee motivation, to efficiency, satisfaction, and retention improvements. Case studies from both public and private sectors reveal how effective talent management directly influences service quality, innovation, and business competitiveness. The article presents key models by Cuesta, Morales Cartaya, Werther and Davis, and Harper and Lynch, highlighting their perspectives on talent development. It also organizes and analyzes critical indicators in five areas: hiring, compensation, employability, training, and occupational safety. The findings show that strategic human talent management is essential for increasing productivity across various organizational contexts. The review identifies research gaps and suggests future lines of inquiry to reinforce the connection between human development and organizational success.
