Management strategies at different levels have been developed by corporate houses with an intention to recruit, train and retain their talented employees. Utilizing the full potential of talents available is also a major task for human resource departments. One such strategy adopted by the management is the customisation of services. It is a process of providing tailor made work experiences to the employees taking into consideration their skills, competencies and specific requirements. Only few literatures are available to associate the relationship between these two broad concepts. A concrete study signifying the impact of HR customisation on talent management is the need of the hour. This empirical study tries to explore the extent to which organisations customize their HR services and its relationship with the variants of talent management that includes organizational commitment, job satisfaction and intention to quit. The study, descriptive in nature, follows simple random sampling method covering 400 employees from 30 organisations (both private and public sector). The study, in general, reveals a moderate negative relationship between HR customisation (IV) and talent management (DV). The influence of type of organisations on the IV-DV relationship is worth noting where the talents in private sector demands more customisation when compared to their counter parts working in public sector. The study also infers a minimal partial influence of age, experience and perception towards the relationship between IV and DV, with an exemption to age in public sector organisations.
