Today’s knowledge economy, more than ever before, has made an organization’s people its most critical asset and one of its greatest investments. It is clear that mastering talent management helps organizations differentiate themselves in the marketplace, and thereby gain a competitive advantage. HR is firmly rooted in the belief that talent has impact, but can the same be said for an organization’s senior leadership—do they believe this to be true? Executives want evidence that HR is boosting their organization’s bottom line, but can HR substantiate and deliver this proof that talent equals financial reward?

This session is an overview and introduction to Motivation-Based Interviewing. MBI is a 15 year-old interviewing method specifically designed for identifying and hiring high achievers. Traditional behavior-based interviewing focuses almost solely on an applicant's level of skill. This approach has a long history of producing hit-and-miss hiring results. Why? Because it takes more than just skill to succeed! MBI assesses all 3 of the components common to top performers that enable them to achieve above-average results, yet requires no extra interviewing time. The 3 components MBI assesses are - skill, attitude and passion! Please note, this session includes a powerful video that’s not available in an archived version.

In this session we will uncover the full or true cost of bad hiring practices and focus on how to dramatically improve the quality of hire in your organization. We will help you understand how to measure the cost of hire in your organization and how you can show additional value to the top line of your company by taking the time to implement processes to effectively attract and retain top talent.

However, most of these assessments either fail to take advantage of the web’s flexibility or provide overly complex functionality that managers will rarely, if ever use. In this virtual session we will use case studies to provide practical advice for getting the most out of technology at the three most important points in the employee lifecycle: selection, development, and high potential identification.
