Impact of Talent Management on Employee Performance in the Banking Industry of Bangladesh

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of adopting talent management strategies on employees and to know to what extent it can benefit developing, retaining or increasing the performance of the employee of the banking industry in Bangladesh. This research adopted a quantitative survey research design and respondents received a pre-coded close-ended questionnaire by using 5-points Likert scale. The questionnaire was set in Google form for the ease of online survey and also a hard copy questionnaire was made to survey employees of different banks. The statistical population sample size was 83 employees from the banking industry. Responses to the questionnaire were recorded and analyzed using SPSS 20.0 version for Windows. For investigating, measuring and analyzing the variables used in the questionnaire the researcher used descriptive methods such as frequency distribution as well as inferential methods such as correlation, and regression tests. Key results showed that talent management impacted the performance of the employees of the banking industry in Bangladesh. The results also showed that there is a potential correlation between talent retention, talent management strategies in the implementation of employee performance. But the talent retention and acquisition have no significant coefficient impact on the employee performance. Investigator recommended that the banking industry provide training for its employees, review and improve human resources policy, and reward employees for excellence. The study completes providing directions for future research. Keywords: Talent Management, Retention, Development, Employee Performance, Banking Industry.

In Hospital Outcome of Acute Anterior Myocardial Infarction in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients

Background: Patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction and diabetes have a poor prognosis. Objectives: To see the in-hospital outcome of acute anterior myocardial infarction in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Methodology: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, Sylhet over a period of two years from July 2015 to June 2017. A total of 100 acute anterior MI patients (50 diabetic and 50 non diabetic) were included in this study. Acute anterior MI patients admitted after 6 hours of symptom onset or who did not receive streptokinase were excluded. Results: Male predominance was obvious in both groups [40 (80%) versus 42 (84%); p>0.05] in diabetic and non-diabetic group respectively. Mean age was 53.34 ± 11.32 and 54.84 ± 14.12 years in diabetic and non-diabetic groups respectively. Dyslipidemia [6 (12%) versus 6 (12%); p >0.05], Smoking [32 (64%) versus 34 (68%); p >0.05] and Family history of cardiovascular disease [6 (12%) versus 4 (8%); p >0.05] were similar among diabetic and non-diabetic respectively. Hypertension was found more among non-diabetic [27 (54%) versus 19 (38%); p>0.05] but difference was not statistically significant. Diabetic group had more Apical Anterior MI [22 (44%) versus 19 (38%); p<0.05] and Extensive Anterior MI [20 (40%) versus 11 (22%); p<0.05] while non-diabetic group had more Septal MI [10 (20%) versus 3 (6%); p<0.05] and Mid Anterior MI [10 (20%) versus 4 (8%); p<0.05]. LV ejection fraction was found significantly low in diabetic patients [43.96 ± 5.95 versus 53.68 ± 6.36; p<0.01]. Killip Class III was more in diabetic [24 (48%) versus 9 (18%); p<0.01] and Killip Class I was more in non-diabetic group [18 (36%) versus 3 (6%); p<0.01] according to Killip classification of HF which was statistically significant between the two groups. Atrial Fibrillation was more in diabetics [6 (12%) versus 1 (2%); p<0.05] while sinus tachycardia was more among non-diabetics [20 (40%) versus 5 (10%); p<0.05] which are statistically significant. Diabetic group had more acute MR [2 (4%) versus 0 (0%); p>0.05] but was not significant. Death was more in diabetic group than that of non-diabetic group [7 (14%) versus 3 (6%); p>0.05] but it was statistically not significant. Conclusion: It is concluded from the present study that in hospital outcomes of acute anterior myocardial infarction are worse in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic patients
