Cultivating Talent in the Airport Environment

The airport industry is facing a challenge of cultivating talent, especially in technically demanding professions such as planning, engineering, construction, operations, and facility maintenance. Airports are facing a shortage of individuals who can lead, guide, manage, and carry out airport centric initiatives. Yet there are few resources for managers to attract, cultivate, and retain talented individuals at airports, and most are academic research reports that make implementation of their findings difficult. The objective of this research is to develop a airport industry talent cultivation “playbook” that would provide inspiring, tested, and readily implementable techniques to enhance talent cultivation and knowledge transfer in their organizations. The playbook should be designed for quick, easy access with key talent planning ideas that can be implemented immediately and utilized by airports of different types and sizes.
