Abstract:

The case examines the diversity and talent management practices of the US-based
IBM, the leading IT Company in the world. IBM figured in the Fortune magazine's
list of "America's Most Admired Companies" in the year 2004. It was appreciated
for recruiting and retaining the best talent across the world. IBM actively
encouraged recruiting people from various social and cultural backgrounds
irrespective of their age, sex or physical status. In the same year, IBM had
developed a talent marketplace to effectively manage its workforce. The
marketplace supported employees to find the most suitable job across different
organizational units within the company.
