Session Description: With an ever changing economic, political and social landscape, new and innovative ways of thinking about talent management will be key to maintaining a competitive advantage. With the impact of the recession on the business world, the influx of baby boomers predicted to retire, and the large number of young people entering the work force, a holistic and strategic talent management plan can help to ensure that your organization is well suited to meet the challenges ahead. To achieve this goal, businesses must possess a thorough understanding of the organization’s talent requirements. Additionally, an emphasis must be placed on talent acquisition, performance management, engagement, retention, and succession planning. All of these factors have a tremendous impact on the bottom line and are essential to effective business practices.

Keynote Speaker Session:

Topic: Talent Retention - How to Identify, Engage and Keep Your Best Talent.
Today’s HR Professional is receiving reassuring news that the market upturn is beginning but along with this news comes fear as organizations are evaluating their current talent management programs. These programs have many purposes, but at the core they are intended to keep your top performers in the organization while simultaneously attracting the best and the brightest talent in the market.  As HR professionals, we are challenged with establishing policies and programs that generate results for the business while remaining cost conscious. Through this interactive session we plan to leverage the Deloitte Periodic Table of Talent to explore what leading organizations are doing as it relates to Talent Management. This session will provide insight and understanding as to where your organization sits on the maturity scale as this will clearly point to what levers can be pushed to bring your HR organization to the next level. With us will be Bill Cleary and Michael Boedewig from Deloitte Consulting. These Philadelphia based practitioners are responsible to lead and guide organizations as they begin their HR Transformation journey that ultimately brings new value to the business in ways that are both tangible and measurable.
