Recruit, develop and motivate high-potential people

Talent and skill shortages are proving to be a major threat to sustainable growth, yet research shows that UK businesses still need to put the issue of talent planning and development higher up the agenda. Sourcing new talent is becoming increasingly costly and existing staff are not always effectively used, managed or challenged.

This programme focuses on how to manage talent for competitive advantage and will help you:

• develop strategies that will help you source, retain and manage your talent
• ensure your business strategies focus on your future talent needs
• create value through talent management
• develop new approaches to the problems of talent management

Using practical tools and frameworks, and drawing upon critical insights from leading international research, you will work with like-minded professionals to develop new ways to address these challenges. Work on live projects, receive feedback and the opportunity to scope and plan project work.

This programme enables you to explore practices beyond your own organisation and find out how these practices can be adapted to your own needs.

Who should attend

Organisational leaders, line managers and HR specialists seeking to formulate and strengthen their talent development and retention strategies.
