Effectively Finding & Attracting Good People Workshop.

Finding and retaining talented people is crucial to business success and survival. Talent provides competitive and strategic advantage. "Take my 20 best people" says Bill Gates, "and, virtually overnight, Microsoft becomes a mediocre company."

Talent needs to be recruited as part of a clearly defined well thought-out business strategy because labour and skills are in short supply. We provide fresh, innovative ideas for recruitment through an entertaining, informative session complete with live online examples.

Future workplace trends you can count on include:

• Mature age workers are the fastest growing workplace segment;
  
  
• Greater participation of women in the workforce;
  
  
• More ethnic diversity, particularly among younger workers;
  
  
• Shortage of workers and skills;
  
  
• Shortage of educated workers;
  
  
• Increased demand for training and development;
  
  
• More dispersed workforce due to telework etc.;
  
  
• Work-life balance conflict

Talent creates strategic value for your organisation. As the demand for talent goes up the supply will be coming down. The pursuit of TALENT now demands the same energy, creativity and enthusiasm as the pursuit of customers. Jobs are products.

The workshop normally takes a half day to present and will provide you with powerful recruitment strategies that will give you competitive advantage in the quest for talent. One hour conference presentations are also available. Effectively Finding & Attracting Good People is also available as part of the Townsend International Elearning System.

You are also invited to view workshop outlines for Effectively Managing & Motivation People and Effectively Retaining Good People and Get Tough With Stress.
