Our center was established in our university based on the decision of Higher Education Executive Board dated 22/02/2000 and numbered 2000.11.500. The establishment process started in the fall semester of 2016-2017 academic year with the application to the administration of our University. The application request was accepted and approved by the University Senate. Later, we went through the CoHE (YÖK) process and our institution was completed in May 2017 after it was accepted by the CoHE. Our Center is affiliated to the General Secretariat of the University.
Establishment Reason:
It is increasingly recognized that the most important source for talent management, sustainable competition in global competitive environment is high skilled employees.
The number of highly talented people is limited. It is becoming increasingly difficult to select, educate, manage and keep them. The high mobility of employees necessitates more efforts to keep such employees.
Employee skills play a decisive role in determining organizational performance. Employee skills can directly affect organizational performance as a production factor or indirectly by increasing morale and motivation.
Universities are among the leading institutions among service producing organizations where talented employees work intensively. Employees in universities generally have higher academic backgrounds than those working in other jobs and workplaces, and are selected from among those with higher academic achievements, determined by special methods. Higher education institutions, which should also have a dynamic structure, have to carry out studies to improve and develop the quality of education and programs implemented. All these justifications form the foundation of the talent management research and application center.
The center to be established will ensure the elimination of deficiencies in these areas;
To carry out joint studies on the subjects of the Center's interest with the contribution of the academic units of the University,
To establish working units from academicians and related public and private institutions / organizations from the university and abroad for the studies to be carried out within the center, when necessary,
To organize certificates, courses and similar programs in the areas of interest of the Center,
To publish all studies in Turkish and foreign languages and share them with all stakeholders,
To prepare periodicals of the center,
To prepare regional, national and international programs on higher education
To give lectures and organize events such as seminars, symposiums, panels and conferences,
To provide consultancy services to public and private sector institutions and organizations upon request
To cooperate with other universities, public and private sector institutions / organizations at national and international level
To engage in any other activity related to its purpose.
Domestic examples:
Today, talent Management is organized in human resources unit especially in private institutions. Public institutions followed and are following this. Although Talent Management is in these institutions as a practice unit, it is extremely important that research, development and academic practices in this field take place within a university institution and that this field is developed and carried out with scientific principles and understanding. In fact, it is unlikely that these researches will be conducted in the workplaces in terms of the main functions of the institutions. However, no such center has been established at a university in Turkey. This center, which is planned to be established in this respect, will be a pioneer in terms of conducting Talent Management researches. In addition, universities have a special advantage in terms of identifying, developing, engaging and developing talented individuals and are important.
