Abstract: The claim that human resources or human capital is the most important and valuable asset of organizations is widespread and widely accepted. For this reason, one of the biggest challenges for organizations is to find the right employees with the necessary skills, high potential, and talent. However, the challenge for organizations is not only to find, but also to retain and to use the potential of talented employees. The main aim of this study is to identify the HRM practices which most significantly affect the retention and commitment of talented employees. Based on factor analysis, individual factors of HRM practices were identified. Through canonical analysis, the relationships between the identified factors of HRM practices, talent retention (the intention of talented employees to remain in the organization), and the organizational commitment of talented employees were identified. One of the most important results of the study is the identification of human resource management practices that are most strongly associated with talent retention and commitment.
