Course description
To achieve optimal levels of success, business leaders need to employ engaged and high-performing employees. The key to inciting a workforce to greatness is to align your talent management with the company strategy, define consistent leadership criteria across all functional Locations, and identify specific competencies (analytical, technical, education, experience) to cultivate for continuing growth.
Acquiring the right talent for any human resource sector or department can be challenging. All organizations have preferences regarding the kind of employees they want to attract and how to reach targeted individuals. If not done properly, recruitment efforts can produce job applicants who are unqualified, lack diversity or may be likely to quit if hired because an ineffective recruitment process can lead to missing highly qualified job candidates.
Talent Management and Acquisition training course is designed to provide participants with the strategic approach to talent management and acquisition that drives success in organizations. Participants will understand the link between organizational strategy and talent management.
