Finding, hiring and retaining quality commercial drivers has historically been a significant challenge to employers across the United States. While the present economic cycle has motivated drivers to remain with their current employers for a longer period of time, loyalty is only one part of the challenge. Economically efficient, safe and courteous truck drivers will always be in demand, and screening through the vast majority of applicants to eliminate high risk candidates and find the driver that is the best fit is never easy. Commercial companies of all kinds are committing vast resources to the continual recruitment, screening and hiring of good truck drivers because making a bad hire in this industry may result in more than just upset customers and a loss of money; it can also mean higher rates of accidents, injuries and operating costs. As a result, it is critical for employers to find and hire qualified drivers who are safe and dependable. Maintaining a stable, profitable fleet and retaining employees is important for organizations to stay competitive.

Upwards, Downwards, and Sideways: Using TalentFlow Analytics to Measure Employee Movement
Often overlooked in workforce plans and executive scorecards are metrics and analytics that illustrate how internal mobility—the upward, downward, and lateral movement of employees—contributes not just to business success but individual development.
The organizational imperative to address these questions is two-fold. First, in order for an organization’s workforce planning processes to provide meaningful data to the business and HR, it is essential to know not just where employees are currently, but where they have been and are likely going to be in the future.
Second, if HR leaders are unaware of what opportunities their employees have to move and advance within the organization, employees are likely to be equally unaware.
In this webinar, Infohrm’s Nick Garbis and Andrew Jacobus will outline innovative practices for identifying optimal career paths for business-critical jobs, where limited opportunities are driving turnover, and the efficacy of recruitment and selection processes.
Improving Your Quality of Hire: A Primer to Effective Assessment Use

This session outlines the best practice use of assessments in the selection process and also highlights assessments that measure 21st century skills, such as critical thinking, learning, and innovation.
The Value of Training in Surviving and Thriving in an Economic Downturn
In these tough times, talent management activities are often lumped into a ‘non-mission-critical-expenditure’ bucket, which makes their budgets a likely target for reduction or altogether elimination. This short-term view can be very costly in the long run. In fact, this is when it becomes most critical to devote existing resources to the most critical talent management activities that will drive business success.
In this webcast, TalentQuest’s president of consulting services, Dr. Rick Brandt and executive consultant, Dr. Eric Roth, will discuss training as a response to the economic downturn. They will examine the value of basic supervisory training and its potential to have a real and immediate impact on organizational performance. They will provide practical recommendations on how to turn training initiatives into development programs that will make a lasting difference to the organization and the individual. They will discuss the importance of talent management in increasing engagement and productivity in a highly distracting environment. Finally, they will share ideas of how you can shift the ‘training imperative in an economic downturn’ conversation from ‘can we afford to’ to ‘we can’t afford not to.’
Make Sure Tough Decisions Are Smart Decisions: Optimize HR Processes and Minimize Compliance Risk
At a time when companies in all industries and all sizes are looking to aggressively reduce operating costs, it may be logical to surmise that the need to more efficiently and strategically manage the workforce is not a critical imperative. After all, one way many organizations trim expenses is by reducing their workforces. However, in the face of increasing layoffs, the need to effectively manage employees becomes more acute. As many HR departments still rely heavily on manual processes – or use automated processes that are not integrated – organizations are potentially making critical decisions about layoffs without accurate information. As a result, many of these organizations are in danger of letting go employees with much-needed skills or letting go employees that could increase the chance of bringing legal action.
Top Trends of 2009: The Business Benefits of Integrated Talent Management
You’ve probably heard the term “integrated talent management” by now, even outside the HR Department and C-suite, but what does it really mean? More importantly, how can it help your organization’s bottom line?
To be successful, today’s organization must be able to adapt to new, shifting workforce dynamics. Globalization presents more than new markets. It also means new challenges in how we manage our talent, how employees choose to communicate and collaborate, how HR organizations keep leadership pipelines healthy, and how companies develop internal cultures focused on high-performance.
Tune in to this highly informative webinar to learn about “integrated talent management” and how it addresses the challenges faced by organizations today.
Harassment Training and the AB 1825 Fallacy: Getting It Right in 2009
AB 1825, California’s law regarding the prevention of sexual harassment, requires organizations to provide training to all supervisors and managers in California every two years. For the vast majority of organizations, 2009 is a “training year”. As a result, they are faced with deciding how to fully comply with the very specific regulations implemented by the Fair Employment and Housing Commission (FEHC) without repeating the same training provided in 2007. What many employers fail to recognize, however, is that simply complying with AB 1825 can be disastrous from a legal perspective.
