As part of the rich history on the topic of identifying and developing ‘high potential’ employees, literally thousands of books, articles, and research papers have been written. Considering this weight of research, “pet theories” abound, with as many different ideas on how and what to do as there are HR leaders in different organizations. Join Dr. Henryk Krajewski, a recognized leader in BOTH the research and practice of talent assessment and development to share a unifying view of what matters most in selecting – and keeping – the best talent. Dr. Krajewski will distinguish what matters from what doesn’t, dispel popular myths about talent, and help you focus in on winning strategies that will help you attract and retain “differentiated” talent. Specific learning objectives include: • Learning to use compelling “business-language” conversations about the importance of top talent. • Which assessment methods and tests are research supported, and an analysis of those that aren’t. • What empirical research says about the factors proven to attract high potentials. • Gaining knowledge and familiarity with the age-old psychological data that has simply been “recycled” time and time again in popular books re: engagement. • How to use technology to make all of this easier!

Ongoing feedback is essential for a high-performing workforce, yet so many organizations fall short in providing good feedback. And the research tells us that's a bad idea because feedback has a huge impact on employee engagement levels in your organization (Gallup). For example, managers who:

• Focus on employee strengths are 30 times more likely to manage actively engaged workers compared with managers denying feedback
• Focus on employee strengths are one third more likely to manage actively engaged employees compared with managers focusing on weaknesses
• Give little or no feedback fail to engage 98 percent of their workers

The good news is that there are great tools available in the Halogen Talent Management Suite™ to make feedback easier for managers and more meaningful for employees.

Yes, there is risk, but if it can be measured it can be managed.
