      Hi Naveen,
      Thank you for your comment!
      When considering your question, both data and human judgement are necessary to drive into decisions in talent management. As a summary, I would say data helps businesses to make unbiased decisions about trends, performance, etc. However, data alone cannot provide insightful decisions regarding talent management. Therefore, human judgement is also a crucial point. So when arriving at final decisions, both the results of data-driven decisions and human judgement should be considered when it comes to judging employee performance or even when you recruit new talented employees to your organisation.

    Your article is very clear on the topic, You have effectively highlighted the role of data analytics in modern talent management, mainly in improving recruitment, employee retention, and workforce planning. The importance on AI-driven decision-making is insightful; however, it would be beneficial to discuss the ethical concerns regarding bias in predictive analytics. As research suggests, "AI-driven hiring tools may unintentionally reinforce existing biases if not carefully monitored" (Raghavan et al., 2020). Addressing such challenges would strengthen the argument.
