Webcast:
When it comes to managing and developing talent, the full support of your company's business leaders is crucial. These leaders understand ROI, so how do you meet their expectations and speak their language using metrics and performance outcomes tied to actual dollars? The good news is the link between talent and company performance has become more quantifiable, and many types of nonfinancial outcomes from goal alignment, engagement and productivity can be translated into dollar terms. Every 4 percent improvement in engagement, for example, can be tied to a 1 percent improvement in earnings. Top companies align talent competencies with their overall business strategy, and reinforce expectations through performance management and 360 degree feedback. At a time when every investment is scrutinized for its return, this webcast will help you fortify your business case for investments in valuable talent assets.
