Introduction: Consideration of talent management and identification of its related factors can assist ‎organizations in the implementation of talent management. The aim of the present study was to ‎assess talent management in the Department of Health of Guilan Province, Iran, and determine ‎its relation with demographic variables. Methods: This applied and descriptive-analytical study was performed on 362 employees of the Health ‎Department of Guilan Province in 2015. Systematic random sampling was conducted following ‎the determination of the contribution of each city to the total sample size. Talent management ‎was considered as the main variable and demographic characteristics of the personnel as the ‎background variables. Data was collected using a questionnaire the validity and reliability of ‎which were approved through factor analysis (P < 0.05) and Cronbach’s Alpha (α = 0.93). Data ‎were analyzed using correlation tests, independent t-test, and univariate ANOVA in SPSS ‎software. Results: Mean score of talent management was 84.60 ± 19.33. The mean score of talent management ‎among men and women was 86.40 ± 18.73 and 83.17 ± 19.65, respectively.
