- Talent Retention In Financial Services, Bahrain.
-
Feb 7, 2010 - Feb 9, 2010,
BahrainSince it was brought to light by McKinsey’s War for Talent report just over ten years ago, the importance of talent management has been steadily increasing. This applies during the last year or so as well – the nature of talent management may have shifted, but it is just as, and probably even more important than before.
Financial Services organisations now need to differentiate their talent more clearly – they need to know who to invest in and why. And rather than focusing on recruitment, they need to do develop and retain the talent they already employ.
It is the people identified as talent who are going to drive their organisations through the end of the recession and beyond. But many of them may not be planning to stay! In her new book, Top Talent, Sylvia Ann Hewlett points out that a third of top talent who have survived the recession will not stay with their company in the next 12 months.
So how do you retain this critical resource? Attend this training course to find out.
