Harvard Business Review: When asked about the most important thing for the success of a company, startup, or business, the answer is often 'great talent'. Any company can perform well only if its workforce is strong and competent. However, building a team of great professionals is easier said than done. In the era of recession and technology and due to recent major changes like rapid ups and downs, retaining good professionals is the first step towards taking the startup towards success.

That is why if you have also started a startup or are planning to do so, then you have to work on some great strategies to select the right professionals and retain them with you.

Investing in leadership
To make your company successful, you have to focus on investing in leadership. You need to update your plans immediately to find and connect future leaders with you. For this, you have to do things like hiring experienced professionals, creating new leadership roles or assessing market competition to gain a competitive edge.

Internal mobility

One of the biggest challenges is the lack of accurate and up-to-date information about the skills of employees. While most professionals keep their profiles updated on professional platforms like LinkedIn, this is often not the case with companies' internal systems. In such a situation, just hiring new people will not meet all the needs. Instead, you also have to provide employees with opportunities to grow in the company and work in new roles. This is possible only when your company has proper data on every employee. This will help you know what skills the employees have, in which role they can grow, and how they can benefit the company in the future.

Safe environment

Apart from knowing the expectations of the workforce and the demands of the market, talent management is also important. Retaining talent is not an easy task, especially for a startup. It is an art that every entrepreneur should learn. To do this, you can take the help of AI. When AI is integrated into the organization, it allows access to information with greater accuracy. This creates an environment where good talent not only feels safe but also chooses to grow with the company every day.
