Understanding the Implementation of Talent Management Policy in Local Government Case Study in DKI Jakarta Province

Abstract

Talent management is one of the priority programs to encourage superior civil services with high integrity. However, there are still very few studies explaining how talent management is implemented in local governments. This study aims to provide a quick understanding of the implementation of talent management policy in the DKI Jakarta Provincial government. The research method is applied through a qualitative approach using data from interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), observations, and reviews of documents sourced from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, the State Civil Apparatus Commission, and academics. This study found that DKI Jakarta Province just issued an Enactment of the Governor’s Regulation Number 8 for the Year 2022 concerning Talent Management. Moreover, two policies, namely a decree of the Governor concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Competency Development for Civil Servants through an Integrated/Integrated Learning System Approach; ( Jakarta Corporate University); and a Decree of the Governor concerning the Map of Human Resource Competency Development in the DKI Government Environment in 2021-2022 have strongly supported the development of talent management. In addition, a high commitment of top leaders encourages the implementation of all stage’s implementation of talent management, namely talent acquisition, talent development, and talent retention. However, this study also found that some internal policies were not implemented optimally. This condition is due to a lack of technical guidelines for the implementation, the need for more cooperation with various institutions in talent development, and the need to utilize resources and infrastructure that support the implementation of talent management.
