Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
Business leaders who implement the best talent management processes are more prepared than their competitors to compete in the global economy and capitalize quickly on new opportunities. In order to achieve optimal levels of success, business leaders need to employ engaged and high-performing employees. The key to inciting a workforce to greatness is to align your talent management with the company strategy, define consistent leadership criteria across all functional areas, and identify specific competencies (analytical, technical, education, experience) to cultivate for continuing growth.
Talent management and acquisition
For any human resource sector or department, acquiring the right talent can be a very challenging task. All organizations have their own preference as to the kind of employees they want to attract, and how to reach targeted individuals. If not done properly, recruitment efforts can produce job applicants who are unqualified, lack diversity, or maybe likely quit if hired because an ineffective recruitment process can lead to missing highly qualified job candidates. This training course is designed to provide participants with the strategic approach to talent management and acquisition that drives success in organizations. Participants will be able to gain an understanding of the link between organizational strategy and talent management.
