But when a manager holds on a little too tightly and prevents an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/blog\/what-are-emerging-leaders\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">employee from growing with the organization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014otherwise known as talent hoarding\u2014there can be negative consequences for all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below we describe the potential effects of talent hoarding, and how you can prevent it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is Talent Hoarding?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talent hoarding happens when a manager keeps a top employee on their team to the detriment of the employee or the company by limiting that employee\u2019s opportunities and\/or growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Is Talent Hoarding Dangerous?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talent hoarding presents individual and organizational risks alike.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risks to managers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An effective manager is one who not only gets good results from their direct reports, but who also <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/blog\/ways-to-help-employees-with-career-development\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mentors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> them and sets them up for success in their next roles with the company and beyond. When a high performing employee remains in a position too long, it could imply that the manager has not properly coached the employee. After all, if an employee is in a position for a long time and desires growth but is not promoted, what is the manager doing to help them improve their performance?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An additional risk to the manager is created as a result of talent hoarding when a top employee decides to leave the company altogether due to lack of opportunity. In a situation like this, often the manager will be unprepared to fill the role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"longdesc-return-26103\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26103\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/GettyImages-639072334.jpg\" alt=\"A male employee explains to his female manager why he is resigning.\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us?longdesc=26103&amp;referrer=26097\" \/>Risks to employees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often it\u2019s assumed that when an employee has developed a high level of competence in a role, and sustained it for a certain length of time, the employee will then be promoted into a more senior position with more responsibility. As mentioned above, without an opportunity to grow either vertically or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/blog\/lateral-career-moves-how-to-facilitate\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">laterally within the organization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an employee may seek such opportunities elsewhere. This can impact not only the employee being hoarded, but also ones who would like to move into that employee\u2019s position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hoarded talent may also have less experience than their peers because they were not given the chance to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/blog\/how-to-use-upskilling-to-retain-talent\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">upskill, reskill, or to train<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with other teams. And without gaining new skills and knowledge, along with the sense of accomplishment that results from doing so, an employee\u2019s performance may wane. After all, workers need to feel a sense of confidence in their work and abilities, and without that, they can feel discouraged, disconnected from the company\u2019s purpose, and disengaged from their job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risks to your organization<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s a problem if a single manager hoards talent, if it\u2019s a problem across your workforce, the negative consequences multiply. Engagement and productivity can dip and remain low in all areas of the organization. You may experience widespread retention issues, along with difficulty luring top talent to those openings when company reviews on sites such as Glassdoor show little opportunity for growth, damaging your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/blog\/employer-brand-journey\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">employer brand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also risks to the growth of your company. After all, talent hoarding leads to those employees\u2019 skills and ideas being hoarded as well. As a result, other areas of your business won\u2019t benefit from their knowledge and experience. Without space for new talent to join the organization, your business could suffer from a lack of new ideas and diversity of thought. And without expanding and diversifying your existing talent\u2019s skill sets, your company could be at risk should employees leave or if a reduction in force is necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Can HR Prevent or Stop Talent Hoarding?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make internal job openings transparent<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facilitate <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">internal mobility<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by making roles open first to employees, making it clear what the requirements are, and encouraging employees to develop the skills needed to get the roles. When there is transparency around opportunities within the organization, and internal hiring is encouraged, it\u2019s more difficult for managers to hoard talent. It also helps to provide a strong pool of talent to draw from when a role is vacated because top talent is promoted or moves into another area of the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Support your managers and reward them<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One reason why managers may keep top talent from moving on is that they are worried that their team will suffer without that employee. In addition to facilitating and supporting internal mobility in your organization, you can encourage inter- and intra-departmental training. You can also support your managers by giving them the resources and time they need to cross-train employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managers who facilitate their team members\u2019 success by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/solutions\/career-development\/how-to-have-career-development-conversations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">helping them develop their careers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be rewarded and recognized for boosting the company\u2019s skill set and engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26104\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/GettyImages-1073415878.jpg\" alt=\"A male manager gets support from his supervisor to help train his employees.\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>Crosstrain employees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be helpful to both managers and employees to encourage working on interdepartmental projects and cross-training with other departments. Managers benefit from additional skills from employees from other departments, and employees can learn from each other and from other managers. Depending on the size of your organization, you may be able to list project work on your internal job board so that those interested can apply to participate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upskill employees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/solutions\/career-development\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">career development<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> courses and workshops\u2014either in person or online\u2014in a variety of subjects so that employees have the opportunity to level up their existing skills or gain new ones. When you increase the diversity of skills within your organization, managers will have more talent to draw from, reducing their need to hoard talent. Your workforce will be more agile and engaged, and will have more incentive to stay with the company and grow their careers with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer career coaching to employees and managers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/blog\/what-can-career-coach-help-with\/\">Career coaching can benefit employees<\/a> in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a number of ways<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
