Overview :Although you might be initially excited about these higher expectations, you must ask yourself if you are prepared to make significant improvements in the results produced by your talent management function. As part of your planning for the future, a first step is to identify the trends in talent management. And because anything new that you try in talent management probably will have to work the first time, you also need to know the best practices that advanced firms have already been successfully implemented. This webinar is designed to provide you with both the trends and the most exciting and compelling leading edge practices. Why should you attend: If your executives are screaming for improved results, more innovation, more agility and more speed, it won't be long before they come to talent management leaders for help. In fact, a recent survey showed that talent management was the area where CEO's expect the most change in all business functions. If you're facing increased expectations from young prospects, you know that simply changing isn't enough. You must change in the right direction. That means you have to become knowledgeable in the latest trends, strategies and best practices in talent management. Unlike in the past, these trends reveal that some firms are making radical changes in the way that they manage their talent. Some firms are so advanced in their approaches that you can simply never catch up if you start from scratch. And with limited budget resources, you will have to get it right the first time. As a result a smarter approach is to find out what's working and then to modify and adapt those approaches to your firm. And as the economy improves, there will be even more pressure to improve your talent management practices in a tight labor market where both recruiting and retention will be difficult. So now is the ideal time to begin your planning.
