Abstract

Introduction. This investigation arose from a main question about the characteristics of the processes of human resource management in agricultural enterprises and their impact on organizational competitiveness. The theoretical framework was based on the following concepts: enterprise, agricultural and livestock business, competitiveness and talent management processes. After the sources were revised, some national and international studies were found, and they covered subjects such as practices of administration and human talent management in agricultural & livestock companies. Topics like selection, hiring, training and compensation of workers are explained in that literature. Objective. Exploring human talent management practices in companies from the Urabá sub region (Colombia). Materials and methods. A transversal research design was used. The sample was built with banana production units from Carepa, Apartadó and Turbo, in Urabá. A structured survey was used and the information was analyzed by contrasting the theoretical aspects and the empirical work in order to establish talent management´s contribution to the organizational strategy. Results and Conclusions. The organizations studied have people responsible for the talent management areas, and their characteristics depend on the sizes of their operations. However, the roles played by those people are mainly of coordination, a position located at an operative level and at the tactical one in few cases. The management systems of the area are executed according to the criteria of managers or owners, and this is at the end a classical-traditional operative model.
