The New Talent Leader
ASTD & ODN Joint Event
Prepare to Unlock the highest value possible through understanding one of the most critical resources - your workforce.
About the Session
This session focuses on the evolving role that leaders play in optimizing talent in organizations. In quantitative research conducted over the past five years with thousands of organizations, and on qualitative research with senior executives, the Metrus Institute has discovered that low “People Equity”undefinedthe return on talent investedundefinedis caused by gaps in three core factors, Alignment, Capabilities, and Engagement. This session explores the root causes of these gaps and provides insights, concrete examples, and specific recommendations about how, by measuring and managing the three core “People Equity” factors, a new breed of talent optimizer is scoring higher gains in cost containment, productivity, customer and employee retention, and financial results.
Participants will:
-
Learn how emerging leaders are optimizing talent throughout the talent management life cycle from attracting to recapturing lost talent
-
Understand the “People Equity” framework as a basis for optimizing the value of human resources and targeting investments in them with greatest ROI potential
-
Understand the evolving role of the leader in not only managing but optimizing talent.
-
Improve the ability to identify early-on and nurture high-potential leaders.
Who Should Attend
