Organizations do not make proper use of their employees' skills in line with a new study by IBM and human capital Institute (HCI).

The study on integrated Talent Management are many leaders do not carry out their current staff effectively and will not be able to give an estimate of their current lack of skilled labour.

In the technology sector, with electronics and professional service firms, were most likely to use good management talent, the public sector are the least likely to be full advantage of their workers skill sets.

"The challenge is set IBM customers to address their highest value - its people - which is their biggest competitive advantage," said Tim Ringo, IBM vice president of human resources management.

The study was conducted on 1900 people from more than 1000 public and private organizations in the world. HCI worked with IBM in the study as a global network, which encourages its members to benefit from talent.

Of the organizations surveyed, only 40 percent were found to accurately predict the skills, while 46 percent of the organization failed to send staff in the right roles and 62 percent of executives failed in its ability to develop staff in a "timely and effective manner."
