Talent Strategy

HR has changed significantly and continues to reinvent itself, becoming even more critical to business success.The HR department must work closely with management to understand company goals and then translate these goals into staffing needs, expected employee performance, and skills and knowledge that employees must have to meet short and long term company goals.
 
In playing such a critical role in a company’s performance, both people and financial, we will focus this session on what HR needs to know at both, strategic and functional levels, in order to:
1.       Closely align with business goals
2.       Execute and help employees execute with laser focus
3.       Share results trusted across the company
 
This session will focus on how companies are accomplishing the above based on trends that Forrester Research has found as well as what solutions the industry depends on to get the job done.We cordially invite you to participate in this informative, interactive session featuring Claire Schooley, Senior Analyst at Forrester Research, Inc. who covers the strategy and technology associated with talent management including performance, succession planning, formal and informal learning, and recruiting.
Come away with what you need to be aware of to achieve success in 2012.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I work for a great company! We have a culture that we’ve worked hard to establish and continuously improve …. we have an extremely low turnover rate and, for the most part, great feedback scores from our employees. Unfortunately, one of the things we seem to have an area of opportunity on is “employees feeling comfortable providing their opinion.” What could be behind this? How can we ensure that employees feel that they can talk with us?
