# Talent of All Types

Written by: [Tania Fiero](https://blog.innovativeemployeesolutions.com/ies-blog-nb-24/author/taniafiero)

The war for talent is heating up, and not many organizations are winning. According to [ManpowerGroup’s](https://www.manpowergroup.com/) 2021 survey on employment outlook, 69% of companies are facing talent shortages and hiring difficulties. That’s because in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented workforce exodus known as The Great Resignation is exacerbating an already severe labor shortage—even as accelerating enterprise digitalization initiatives make the need for top talent more urgent than ever. It’s enough to keep even the most optimistic HR leaders awake at night.

The obstacles shaping the current business landscape underscore the importance of talent management as a strategic imperative. Many HR departments still rely on siloed approaches to hiring and developing employees. Unlike these methods, total talent management is a holistic strategy that accounts for continually evolving workforce trends, current and future business needs and objectives, and nontraditional avenues for meeting them.
