Maximize Your Influence: Mastering a New Approach to Engagement and Development

Organizations across the globe are all facing a similar challenge: shifting demographics coupled with a decline in the labor participation rate of prime-age workers is creating fierce competition for talent. Now more than ever, the talent management function is tasked with creating and implementing new and innovative ways to engage the current workforce and deliver development opportunities to make them stay. Top-down engagement strategies have given way to a framework that emphasizes front-line leader accountability and grass-roots initiatives.

Perhaps once viewed as a trend or a passing fad, a focus on employee engagement and development is clearly linked to business results and today's HR leaders cannot rely on the rigid and outdated systems of the past. Join us for this two-day, senior-level event where you will not only add useful strategies to your own toolkit, but walk away with knowledge to inspire and help your people bring big ideas to life. Hear from organizations such as Doctors Without Borders, General Motors, Xerox, Kellogg, and more as they share their path to talent management victory.
