    Learning Objectives

    With significant time and money invested in developing key employees, retaining top talent has never been more important to maintaining competitive advantage. Yet in many organizations, this critical function is often left to individual line managers who struggle to retain individual members of staff without an organizational support system for retention.

    As organizations experience increasing turnover of key employees, this new program offers a structured solution for both line and human resource managers to lead their organizations in developing talent management and retention systems that provide clear career paths for highly valued employees. During the three-day Talent and Retention Management program, you will consider key talent management questions and learn how to develop and implement integrated solutions to drive top talent to achieve both personal and organizational goals:

    • Do you have the talent you need to achieve your vision, strategy and objectives?
    • Do the talent pipelines in your organization reflect the critical trends and challenges your organization is facing?
    • Is your organization effectively utilizing key talent management processes like performance management, talent reviews and succession planning?
    • Is your organization making effective use of core competency/skill set models?
    • How can you improve your existing talent management processes and practices while rapidly evolving toward a fully integrated talent management system?
    Learning Experience

    Before attending the Talent and Retention Management program, you will be asked to complete a talent and development audit for your organization, and to bring a business initiative or challenge whose success is dependent on effective talent and retention management. These will become an integral component of this flexible and highly interactive three-day program, providing you with new insights and actionable strategies to address your unique situation when you return to the office.
