Talent Management Strategies : Leading HR Executives on Bridging Generation Gaps, Facilitating Knowledge Transfer, and Creating an Effective Succession Plan

Talent Management Strategies is an authoritative, insider's perspective on building a solid workforce and addressing all stages of the employee lifecycle. Featuring human resource executives from some of the top companies in the nation, this book guides the reader through the process of attracting the strongest talent, on-boarding new employees, and retaining the best and the brightest through career development opportunities, reward and recognition programs, and other key engagement strategies. The authors also acknowledge the challenges associated with a generation gap and stress the importance of establishing ongoing succession planning and knowledge sharing to keep the business running smoothly when key players retire. Given that a company's success is achieved through the talent of its employees, these HR executives offer their views on implementing successful mentoring programs, maintaining job satisfaction, measuring performance, and growing talent from within. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the leading minds of today, as these human resource experts offer their thoughts on driving the success of the business with an engaged and high-performing team. Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future.
