In this paper we want to explain the importance of the potential of human talent management to retain strategic human capital of the organization as a way to positively influence their ability, contributing, thus, to improve their organizational performance and competitiveness. In this sense, the strategic management of human resource management proposes the existence of a series of intermediate steps or processes that influence the behaviors and attitudes of employees, determining employee outcomes such as productivity, job satisfaction, voluntary turnover, etc. , and with them, the results of the organization. In this causal link between talent management and organizational performance, human management practices play a role because they allow the acquisition, retention and / or development of the employees with the greatest potential to contribute to the performance organizational. However, although we recognize the strategic importance of these three functions, acquisition, retention and development, their joint study is so broad that it hardly graspable in a single work, which is why this paper has chosen to focus primarily in the area of retention of employees and their relationship: human talent management and happiness or welfare.
