Fostering Talent
Has your organization ever made a bad hiring decision? Have you wondered how to develop employees and keep them engaged and growing?
Hiring, developing, engaging and retaining employees require a critical set of skills. Poor hiring decisions are costly in terms of dollars as well as morale. Participants learn the role and use of competency models which enable your organization to identify the behaviors, skills and values that shape not just what work gets done but how.
Since past performance is a key predictor of future success, using a competency based approach to selection, participants learn how to conduct behavior based interviews to get beyond what’s on the resume or application and identify the top performer.
Retaining employees and keeping them engaged, invested and committed demands a high level of proficient leadership. Participants will learn skills to use competencies to provide effective, motivational feedback and implement strategies for employee engagement.
