Abstract

The current challenges emanating from the internal and external environments have resulted in organizations reviewing their human resources management and wellness strategies. It is against this background that this research focused on redefining the strategic role of human resource management in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world from a talent wellness perspective. A quantitative research approach was followed, whereby a talent wellness questionnaire was administered to South African HR practitioners (n = 210). The findings revealed a statistically significant relationship among various constructs related to talent management (attraction, development, and retention) and employee wellbeing (social, emotional, physical, and psychological). This research contributes to professional and academic research on the strategic interlinkage of wellness and talent management in a VUCA world. The research highlights the need for HR professionals and other relevant stakeholders to create talent wellness interventions that are aligned with the organizational strategy to improve the welfare of employees, to enhance sustainable, productive work, in order for the organization to gain competitive advantage and flourish.
