HIRING AND MANAGING THE 8 PERCENT

with Kim Seeling Smith

panelist-kim-seeling-smith

The rules for how to hire, inspire and retain top talent have changed - and yet your ability to attract and retain the talent you need to grow your business is more crucial than ever - especially in our dwindling candidate market. 

In today’s digitally connected, globally oriented world we expect more from our team - and the Millennials are demanding more from us as employers.

How do we ensure that our people practices meet both the needs of the organization AND the needs of the individual? How do we ensure that we are attracting the best and the brightest - and not just the best available at the moment? And once we have them on board, how do we keep them highly motivated, engaged and productive?

Join us for an experiential journey where you will have hands on practice in developing new strategies for you and your business to:

  • Find and land more of the right candidates for your roles
  • Measure and manage performance more effectively with much less stress on your part (hint…this tool has been successfully used by a number of organizations to replace their expensive, outdated and ineffective annual performance appraisal process).
  • Create a highly loyal, motivated and productive team who consistently perform at peak levels.
