The result is a tight labormarket.Many employers are eager to hire yet can’t find workers to fill the roles. What best practices should your organization have in place to attract and retain quality talent? Attend the Society’s first-ever Talent Management Summit featuring Jeremy Wortman of HRD Initiatives and put your learning into action! The summit will be held Nov. 3 at Shadow Ridge Country Club in Omaha. Participants will be asked to complete a pre-session survey to see how your organization compares to others, and to identify areas of strength and weakness that can be targeted for action once you’re back at the office after the event. You’ll learn how to “connect the dots” between your investment in talent management activities and your organization’s revenue. Also on the agenda is retaining talent, where you’ll discover tactics to help keep your employees in place, as well as defining your culture, where you will assess and benchmark your organization’s employee value proposition. Building and leveraging talent, hiring quality talent with the use of science, and brainstorming action items to take back to your work are also on the summit agenda.
