Talent management was assessed through exploratory talent and exploitative talent dimensions. The research was conducted on a group of employees from the Iraqi industrial sector. A descriptive-analytical method was used to gather, describe, and analyze data. The data was collected using a questionnaire as the main tool. A total of 250 randomly selected employees from the industrial sector participated in the study. Various statistical methods were employed to analyze the data and draw conclusions. These methods included Cronbach’s Alpha, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s correlation coefficient for examining relationships between variables, as well as t-tests, F-tests for  assessing the significance of regression models, and R-squared.
