Abstract: Most organisations adopt exclusive talent management practices. Only the selected few key employees are recognised as talent and given development opportunities with special reward packages to motivate and retain them within the organisation. This has left other employees especially those from lower-level management positions without talent development plans. In Malaysia, this group is known as B40 and most of them are young youth employees employed primarily in SMEs. The B40 group of employees are those with low household income and lack talent development opportunities. Relevant stakeholders should manage this B40 group to ensure provision to proper talent and career development plans. However, this can be challenging given the limited knowledge on inclusive talent development. Thus, this paper seeks to address the dearth of knowledge on inclusive talent development, a key talent management tool within the context of Malaysia's B40 group towards attaining an inclusive equitable society.
