It's Time to Thrive,

Not Just Survive 

Some would say that this is a bizarre time to talk about talent management, but the truth is just the opposite. We are going through major changes in our industry and the economists are telling us that when the recovery hits, our industry will not be the same. Now is the critical time to take action so that your business can move away from survival mode and begin the process of thriving. The first action is to decide what your future should look like and what infrastructure will you need to achieve that vision of the future. The central element of your future is your infrastructure and your people. Do you have the infrastructure in place that you need? Do you have the right people in the right seats with the right skills, attitude and energy? Is your leadership up to the task? 

In this session we will talk about why upgrading your staff may be vital and why this is the time to do it. If you do not make the appropriate functional changes and reevaluate your current staff, no amount of technology, equipment or marketing will make you thrive. It is essential that you understand the pieces of the people puzzle and how you can make them fit together so it dramatically creates your vision.

Topics covered:

  • Creating the vision that puts you back on a success path.

  • Evaluating your readiness for the recovery.
  • Determining the gaps in your current infrastructure.
  • Determining if your team is up to the challenge.
  • How to measure current staff against the needed functions.
  • Fire? Retain and retrain? Hire and Develop?
  • How to build a competent, stable, well-led workforce.
  • Why this is the best time to hire.
  • How to rid yourself of the rotten eggs that are pulling you down.
  • Creating the development and retention strategies for building a grade AA team.

 

Who should attend?

This session is highly recommended for business owners, managers, supervisors and human resource personnel who are involved with any part of the talent management process and interested in their business prosperity.
