Background of the Study
The integration of cloud-based HR systems has transformed talent management processes by enabling real-time data access, streamlining recruitment, and improving employee performance monitoring (Deloitte, 2023). These systems offer organizations the flexibility to manage human resources efficiently while fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration. In Kebbi State, where businesses face challenges such as limited access to advanced HR technologies and skilled personnel, cloud-based HR systems provide an opportunity to enhance talent acquisition, retention, and development.
Businesses in Kebbi State operate in a dynamic environment that requires agile HR practices to address workforce challenges and adapt to changing market demands. Cloud-based HR systems have the potential to optimize these practices, ensuring that talent management aligns with organizational goals (Adebayo & Yusuf, 2024). This study evaluates the role of cloud-based HR systems in talent management, focusing on their adoption, benefits, and challenges in businesses within Kebbi State.
