About the Course
This two day course is designed to introduce the concept of Talent Management and guide you through the process. Ensuring your organisation has the right people with the right skills in the right jobs at the right time is essential for organisational success.
Staffing is no longer a ‘set and forget’ activity. Organisations who don’t effectively manage the talent they have are destined to lose the good performers and keep the poor ones. A recipe for failure. Investing in talent management has a powerful and positive impact on productivity and profitability.
Whether your organisation defines Talent Management as a process affecting all staff, or one focussed solely on the high potential staff, this program ensures you develop practical strategies and tools to lower turnover and increase productivity.
Beyond reducing turnover, effective Talent Management speaks of an organisation’s commitment to hire, manage, develop, and retain talented employees, thereby, positioning your organisation as an ‘employer of choice’ and ensuring your appeal to the top talent available for future vacancies.
The workshop will draw on real scenarios from the participant group as well as case studies, practical examples and small group discussion.
Who Will Benefit
The program is designed for Human Resource and Learning and Development professionals, or other organisational leaders who are engaged in the Talent Management process.
