  Managers' Toolbox

Speaker:

Heather Hilliard, Principal, Caliber Leadership Systems Inc.

Topic:

RISKY BUSINESS: Managing the risks associated with your talent

While companies have strong risk management practices to protect critical aspects of the business, they generally ignore a vital area – talent.

Why is it that companies overlook the importance of proactively managing the risk associated with their talent? Firstly, talent is still viewed as a renewable resource. It may take longer or cost more to find talent but the expectation is that you will ultimately be able to hire it. This is a dangerous view as not only are skilled people hard to find, but for the first time, the demographics have shifted dramatically and there simply are not enough people born into this next generation to fill all the anticipated jobs. Secondly, managing the risk associated with recruiting, engaging and retaining your talent is not simple to do – it’s much more than putting some processes and programs in place. Managing talent is about capturing the hearts and minds of employees and creating a culture where employees have the skills and experience and are motivated to contribute to the business in high impact ways.

This seminar will provide you with a practical approach to understanding and managing the risk associated with your talent.

You will learn:

• About different types of talent risk
• How to assess where talent risk exists
• How to design a talent risk management plan
• Common pitfalls to avoid when implementing talent management plans
• How to measure the effectiveness of your talent risk management plan

Who should attend:

This session is intended for business leaders and HR professionals who are looking for strategies and tools to support them in their efforts to retain and engage employees.
