HR & Administration

According to Vikas Shirodkar, VP, HR & Administration, Johnson & Johnson, the issue of talent management has never been a problem for him or his team, or to take care of an employee base of 1,26,000 employees across the globe. It perhaps becomes a problem for those who tend to look at ‘talent management’ more as a method of retaining employees while the concept mainly implies effective measures for people management. It is not as if they do not lose people who leave them for greener pastures, but the debate here is quite different. Most oft en than not, people tend to leave because of money which, according to Shirodkar, is the crux of the whole issue of Talent Retention. ‘Johnson & Johnson does not want to be the biggest pay master’ because they believe that money is only a short-term motivator and would cease to affect beyond a point.
