Out with the Old, In with the New: A New Model for Aligning Talent and Training with Business Outcomes

Webcast: Presented By: Joel Gendelman | October 16, 2012
In the past, training organizations developed learning assets that have not always aligned with the goals and strategies of their business. Currently, “top notch” performance improvement departments are striving to align their closet of instructional assets with the true needs of their business partners. In the future, talent management organizations will sit at that same table. They will acquire and build just the “right” talent with the attributes, competencies, and skills to support the goals and strategies of their company. more »

Webcast: Presented By: Juan Carlos Cabanillas | February 26, 2013
In light of exiting leaders, succession planning has taken a much bigger strategic role in businesses today.

America's Jobs Crisis

Blog: Author: Amy Lewis | Source: HCI | August 15, 2011

Is America experiencing a jobs crisis?  Let’s do a quick roundup of the numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).  As of today, unemployment is 9.1%, meaning almost 14 million Americans are out of work.  Of those, 44% have been unemployed for more than six months.  The average length of unemployment is 40.4 weeks- an all-time high since the federal government began keeping track of such data in 1948.  According to the Gallup organization, a total of 18.2% of the American workforce is underemployed- unemployed or working part-time when they want to work full-time.  Of course, these are national numbers; dramatic regional and demographic pockets of staggering differences are evident around the country. more »

Is Workforce Planning the Answer to Your Talent Management Woes?

Blog: Author: Amanda Lewis | Source: HCI | January 18, 2038

We are in the midst of a massive, global labor shortage and it isn’t predicted to end any time soon. Based on current trends in population, education and labor demand, the McKinsey Global Institute projected that by the year 2020, the labor market will be able to supply only 13% of global demand for workers with college or post-graduate education and only 15% of the developing world’s demand for workers with secondary education. We are also in the middle of a slow, faltering, economic recovery intermingled with a host of international economic challenges in Europe and elsewhere. more »
