More on the event:
Talented organisations win !
Talent succession planning, empowerment, engagement and retention is key to business success and consumes much of HR and L&D’s time, albeit inefficiently at times.
Organisations that organise themselves effectively to nurture and develop their talent / future leadership achieve more, quicker, and are better prepared for the future. This is a complex task for organisations with local interests only, and an even more complex task where an organisation’s talent agenda has an international scope.
Research however suggests that less than 24% of organisations are confident in their ability to staff leadership positions in the next 5 years (Watson Wyatt).
The event will examine the following broad themes:
- Effective talent management in the private sector:
- Effective talent management in the public sector:
Context: reeling from the impact of recession, instability across the world’s largest and most formidable organisations, high volume redundancies at all levels, and black holes in pension fund balance sheets; a sense of staff dislocation and disengagement with corporate objectives is acute within many private sector organisations which have been fortunate to have survived the recession. In addition to diminished staff engagement, the recession will have strongly impacted the resiliency and ultimately wellness of staff in these organisations at a personal level, including the very talented. What local and international best practice solutions can we refer to ?
Context: arguably bolstered to an extent during the recession by additional spending on public works to kick start the economy; one in five Britons now already work for the state; with one in nineteen within the NHS alone. This is a crucial economic population which Britain needs to have stay focused, engaged and resilient. This is also a population that now potentially faces significant cuts. What are the key learnings from the private sector, and what public sector best practice benchmarks have value for the private sector?
- Effective talent engagement: Gen-Y & Gen-R (the survivors and thrivers of the recession):
Context: we’ve concerned ourselves about Gen-Y’s engagement needs for a few years, but what about Gen-R; the survivors and thrivers of the recession ? More than ever, talented people are feeling that they need to actively take control of their careers to achieve career leverage. Organisations which recognise this shift to personal ownership and invest wisely in developing career self awareness will achieve valuable ROI via enhanced reputation, higher engagement levels and reduced future redundancy, re-hiring and onboarding costs. What local and international best practice solutions can we refer to ?
