According to The Conference Board, 40% of the US workforce will be poised for retirement within the next two years. What's your human capital strategy to hold onto and stay connected with this valuable talent, their contacts, and business wisdom?
Like many forward - thinking organizations, particularly in the science and engineering industries, Dow Chemical is embracing Corporate Social Networking technology to keep retirees engaged and connected with each other and the organization. Dow recognizes that relationships and connections with retirees through Corporate Social Networking technology will place them ahead of the looming brain drain and the global race to retain the institutional knowledge that retirees possess. In this webcast, Trish Bharwada will discuss how Dow Chemical is leveraging their Corporate Social Network to connect with their mature talent to accommodate cross-cultural considerations, ensure milestone successes, and achieve desired outcomes. Anne Berkowitch, CEO of SelectMinds, will present best practices and strategies to launch a networking initiative and stay connected and engaged with retirees for knowledge transfer, mentoring, and a just-in-time talent pool.
