Penn State Management Development is proud to partner with the Pittsburgh Tech Council on the delivery of two professional development programs to be offered this fall at the Regional Learning Alliance in Cranberry Township.
In today’s economy, every dollar is critical. And considering how much money, not to mention time and energy, can be spent on the recruitment of new employees when a valued member of your team decides to leave your organization, it’s important to understand what strategies and tactics can be used to retain and manage the talent you already have. In a 2006 paper by the Economist Intelligence Unit, it was found in twenty key CEO interviews that executives devote 20% to 40 % of their time to talent management. Their rationale is that belief that nurturing talent is the best way to secure a competitive advantage. Utilizing that time and effort to the best advantage is what the two workshops will address.
World-renowned expert and Penn State professor Dr. Bill Rothwell will deliver the conent.
“What Managers Need to Do Every Day for Talent Management” is a two-day, practical talent management workshop for managers at all levels. It will be offered on November 6 & 13, 2009, from 8:30-4:30 each day. While some managers think that it is entirely the responsibility of HR professionals to attract, develop, and retain a talented workforce, this seminar focuses on the manager’s daily role in that process. It provides an overview of tactical talent management, including daily development, coaching, dealing with problem performers and high-potentials, and retaining talented people.
Delivered via Polycom (interactive video with corporate leaders across the state) , this program will allow participants to interact virtually with the instructor and participants from University Park, as well as others across the state at other locations. The fee for each course is $995, including all materials, lunch and breaks. If more than one from your organization registers, you each qualify for a $895/course rate. If you register for both courses, you also qualify for the $895/course rate.
