Having the Right People in the Right Place at the Right Time
If a new hire isn't contributing to moving your business forward, he or she is holding it back.
Most employers do very well identifying the technical know-how they want in a prospective employee, but fail to define and assess the critical soft-skill competencies, such as communication and negotiation. If you have ever made a hiring mistake, you know how costly it can be.
By participating in this three-hour seminar, you will learn how easy and cost-effective it is to:
- Develop competency models for all of your positions.
- Design behavior-based interviewing questions that help you target the competencies you are looking for.
- Assess the "goodness-of-fit" of candidates for hire or promotion.
- Use the assessment report for the future development of the new employee.
This seminar is recommended for managers at all levels who are involved with hiring and promoting employees and human resource professionals who recruit talent for your organization.
What Happened to My High Potentials: How to keep star performers from disengaging and derailing
In today’s workplace, star performers are even more valuable than in times past. In our knowledge-based economy, keeping star performers engaged is critical to your organizations success. When your high potential employees are fully engaged in their work, they raise the performance bar for everyone around them. They are a positive influence on co-workers and customer service improves. When they become disengaged and derail, team morale can plummet and productivity suffers.
In this highly interactive program, participants will learn how to:
- Define what is and what isn’t a high potential employee
- Recognize signs of derailment
- Turn the situation around
- Take steps to decrease the frequency of employee derailment and improve employee engagement
This program is offered in half-day and full-day formats and is recommended for executive management, middle management, supervisors, team leaders and human resource professionals.
