Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of talent management on the performance of the Council and to establish effective ways to eliminate talent management implementation challenges. Talent management has a huge influence on the organisation’s performance and if not properly managed it could negatively affect the organisation. The Council has been experiencing high turnover of its talented workforce which has affected service delivery.
Methodology: The study adopted a qualitative research approach. The study was confined to a population of 46 employees of Oranjemund Town Council. A purposive sampling method was used to determine the sample size of 14 participants. An interview guide was used in data collection.
Findings: The study found that 72 percent of participants were planning to leave the Council due to poor compensation and political influence. The study concluded that the Council would find it hard to retain its talented employees due low job satisfaction.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study recommends the creation of a winning employee value proposition (EVP). By creating a wining EVP, the Council will be able to retain its skilled and talented employees and reduce the high employee turnover.
