By viewing employees as talent as opposed to "labor" or "human capital", talent management practices seek to differentiate a firm in a competitive market for skilled employees. In some cases, human resources remains as an administrative practice and talent management is seen as a complimentary practice that handles the human side of things such as organizational culture, recruiting and employee relationships. Talent Management & EntertainmentThe use of the term talent management originates with the entertainment industry where has a completely different meaning. In the entertainment industry, a talent manager is an individual who manages the business affairs of creative talent such as an actor.
