Attracting and Retaining Talent in Tough Times: Connecting the Dots between Recruiting, Performance Management and Employee Development
Presented by FlashPoint’s Krista Skidmore
Sponsored by FlashPoint and the Indiana Manufacturers Association (IMA)
September 23, Indianapolis
Many organizations face challenges in attracting and retaining talent, particularly in light of projected labor shortages. As baby boomers look toward retirement, employers are finding fewer young people to replace them. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of people aged 18 to 44 in Indiana decreased by 2.7 percent between 2000 and 2007. Keeping workers is also becoming increasingly difficult.

In this session, you’ll learn how to overcome these challenges. We’ll show you how to recruit based on targeted employee behaviors, so you find employees with the skills, experience, and qualities you need to achieve your business objectives. We’ll also explore ongoing performance measurement based on these targeted behaviors, as well as promoting employee development opportunities focused on building the skills required for job success. We’ll explore what truly keeps employees loyal and engaged in their jobs, and we’ll examine the benefits of a cohesive system that connects recruiting, performance management, and employee development opportunities. You’ll walk away with case study examples, sample documents, and practical tools to enable you to connect these “dots” in your own organization.
