Objective:

To characterize the management of human talent in the National Center for Clinical Trials Coordination.

Materials and methods:

Descriptive and transversal research carried out in March 2015. A self-administered questionnaire was applied, which explores aspects related to talent management. It participated more than 1 year workers, whom agreed to respond. The data was concentrated in a database in the SPPS software making analysis with absolute and relative frequencies.

Results:

The information corresponding to 33 workers was obtained, 72.7% female and 66.7% between 30 and 49 years old. 72.7% reported that they always received evaluations on their skills and work results and 60.6% acknowledged that their suitability for the position was evaluated. A motivation to remain is the possibility of achieving technical and professional development (81.8%). The organization is characterized by a good direction (66.7%) and existence of challenging problems (45.5%). 66.7% say that material resources are not always enough and 48.5% that only sometimes felt free and non-asphyxiating control of work.

Conclusions:

The perception about the management of human talent in the institution is positive although there are identifiable improvement reserves, especially those related to the scarcity of material resources, and the poor stimulation by new ideas, which generates work environments and undesirable situations. for an adequate management of talent.
