Intersectionality in Talent Management: Broadening our Sight for More Inclusive Theorizing

The extant work on talent management has largely promoted neoliberal agendas concerned with ranking, rating, and recording employees’ talent, or indeed lack of talent. While there are emerging insights that unravel the gendered, racialized, and classed logics underpinning dominant TM writings, there is largely an acceptance of TM as a philosophy, and there has been limited work that challenges the epistemological foundations of TM. We argue that talent management philosophies that have strengthened instrumentalism are conceived as a managerial tool that showed a commitment to capitalistic frameworks, and ignored critical management studies, which stress the importance of resistance, and the power relations that shape, constrain, and may hinder opportunities for all employees. In line with this year’s AOM theme “Broadening our Sight”, this presenter symposium aims to broaden our sight for more inclusive TM theorizing by including five papers that bring intersectionality to the forefront. The collection of papers documents the voices of the silenced talent from the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland, New Zealand, Finland, and Ghana, and draws on feminist, critical, transnational and postcolonial epistemologies to challenge the dominance of masculinist and neo-liberal logics in TM theorizing and open up opportunities to review TM systems that stress inclusion and equity. This is a timely endeavor to draw out, extend, give emphasis and voice to what and who is silent or marginally present or ideologically represented in much of the current TM literature with the aim of broadening our sight in TM theorizing.
