Talent Pool or Talent Puddle? How Deep is Your Succession Planning

Webcast: December 16, 2009

The talent-pool approach to succession planning has emerged as a best practice that establishes a larger number of employees for promotion, who are more likely to stay loyal and whose skills are best aligned with the organization's strategic plans.

Despite the current downturn, many organizations are still faced with competency shortfalls. This means succession planning strategies and tools must effectively nurture and develop a deep pool of people to draw from, with the know-how to support the organization's strategic direction. This webcast will cover how to implement systematic succession planning using talent pools to gain a competitive edge in a knowledge economy.

Realizing the ROI of Your Talent Investment: Do you meet or exceed expectations?

Webcast: October 27, 2009

When it comes to managing and developing talent, the full support of your company's business leaders is crucial.
