Purpose: The main objective of the research presented in this article was to identify factors supporting sustainable talent management in times of COVID - 19 crisis in small and medium-sized companies in Lower Silesia province, as well as to conceptualise the notion of talent. In order to achieve this goal, the first part of the article explains the meaning of the term "talent management" in the scientific literature on management, and then, on the basis of the conducted research, an attempt was made to answer the question: which of the determinants of the "talent management" process are important in the ongoing COVID crisis-19 and guarantee their sustainable development. Design/methodology/approach: For the research presented in this paper, a literature analysis in the area of resource sustainability, talent management and crisis was used. The studies in literature also included secondary sources, which were communications from research of similar scope. The combination of different research methods allowed to obtain a broader context of the studied phenomenon and ensured a higher quality of the conducted research. The diversity of methods was aimed at achieving a consistency of the empirical basis for the inference. A diagnostic survey was adopted as the leading method. The remaining methods applied in the paper were auxiliary (complementary). Findings: "Talent management" and having talented employees in a global economy is a strategically important resource affecting the market value of the organisation itself and providing a competitive advantage. Building a significant intellectual capital of the organisation requires the use of appropriate methods and tools to support the management, systematic measurement, constant comparison with competitors, elimination of barriers and use of opportunities for development (and such becomes the current crisis). Research limitations/implications: In the future, research will be continued on a larger research sample. Practical implications: The article presents results of research conducted among several dozen companies in Poland. The findings are very interesting and encourage research on a larger scale. They are a valuable source of information for managers responsible for creating the intellectual capital of the organisation in terms of acquiring and developing talented employees. On the other hand, for people responsible for recruiting employees, the results may be useful in terms of developing a candidate's profile, in particular when identifying the key competences of talented employees. The results also indicate the demand of the Polish market (especially medium-sized companies) for infrastructure that enables talent acquisition, improvement and development. Originality/value Based on empirical research, the article proposes an original set of systemic solutions for talent management to improve organisational performance.(original abstract)
