Maximising ROI in Human Capital Investments – Implementing An Effective Retention and Talent Management Strategies

 Date:  18 – 19 March 2013

 Venue (Hotel/Location): Sunway Putra Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

 

Workshop Overview:

How to retain top talent? This is often the biggest challenge faced by organisations in the competitive world. Top-notch companies therefore, are always on the hunt for best practices to recruit, train and retain talent. Today, ‘talent management’ occupies centre stage in business strategy thanks to growing competition and ruthless talent wars.

 

The task of developing a talent management strategy often falls to human resources (HR) professionals working in consultation with the business functions. But HR also carries out the more traditional administrative functions such as handling employee benefits, delivering payrolls, ensuring compliance with government regulations, and recruiting and interviewing new staff. To become truly value-added partners in any business, HR needs the resources, tools and management buy-in to get the administrative tasks under control and move up to a position of strategic adviser. From talent mapping and planning to performance evaluation, recruitment, retention and even benefits administration, today’s human capital professionals are constantly seeking new ways to streamline, integrate and align human capital functions with broader corporate objectives.

 

Talent management has never been more of an immediate concern than it is right now.  But in the rush to fill a perceived talent management void, organizations must be careful not to rush into implementing initiatives or programs that are more about taking action than about implementing a well-crafted solution.  Careful planning, culminating in a sound talent strategy that is tightly connected to the organization’s overall business strategies and business needs, is required for talent management to become ingrained in an organization’s culture and practices.  Only when this happens is it possible for talent management to be both effective and sustainable.

 

Retention is more than physical presence
Retaining top talent is a huge factor in business success.  High rates of employee attrition damage business at many levels from the most obvious to the subtle.  As we begin to emerge from recession, the fight for talent at all levels will recommence in earnest.  Companies will face increasing pressure not only to hold on to their existing talent, but also to attract and recruit new staff who will be a fundamental part of their growth plans.

 

In a fast paced world where new employees have one foot in the company but the other foot already on to the next company and opportunity, companies need to adapt their Talent Management Strategies to suit the new pace of the workforce. It is no longer adequate to apply initiatives hoping to extend the time period global talent plans to spend in one company. Companies and HR managers need to develop new initiatives to get the most out of their employees during the time employees plan on staying in the company.

 

Today’s leaders have to look at Talent Management from a multigenerational workforce perspective, For Leaders who have four generations of employees sitting in a meeting or working on a project, it can seem like each generation has its own worldviews, priorities, career models, motives and values. The Leader need to enhance their understanding of generational characteristics and the impact of their own management practices on each of these groups. They need to leverage on the strengths of each generation. Taking full advantage of the multi-generational workforce will enable employers to effectively attract and retain employees, build teams, deal with change, and increase employee engagement.Testimonials:
