Abstract

In the rapidly changing business environment, sustainable talent management has become a critical strategic approach for future organizations. Traditional talent management practices focused mainly on recruitment and employee retention, whereas modern organizations require integrated strategies that support employee development, organizational adaptability, and long-term sustainability. Sustainable talent management emphasizes attracting skilled individuals, developing employee capabilities, promoting continuous learning, ensuring workplace well-being, and creating inclusive organizational cultures. Future organizations face challenges related to technological transformation, demographic changes, changing workforce expectations, and increasing competition for talented employees. Therefore, sustainable talent practices enable organizations to build resilient human capital and maintain competitive advantage. This article explores major dimensions of sustainable talent management, including strategic workforce planning, employee development, digital talent solutions, engagement strategies, and organizational sustainability. The study highlights that organizations investing in sustainable talent systems can improve employee commitment, innovation capability, and overall organizational performance. Sustainable talent management is not only an HR function but also a strategic requirement for future-oriented organizations..
