Introduction

This five-day course begins by looking at how talent and talent management are defined and put into practice in different contexts. It considers how effective organizations need to develop a strategic approach to attracting and retaining staff and face stiff competition at regional, national and international levels. In addition, effective managers need to analyze key employment markets and gain an understanding of their dynamics in order to compete more effectively, both now and in the future. To do this, we will look at the changing roles for HR professionals,  the identification and evaluation of talent, reputational management – becoming an employer of choice (including managing diversity, work-life balance and innovative approaches to job design), and managing recruitment, retention, and turnover.

This training course is suitable for:

• HR managers and executives
