Course Overview A highly productive workforce is critical to an organisation’s success. This course provides Human Resource professionals the concepts and information to be able to develop a talent acquisition strategy that will ultimately attract qualified employees who have the key skills necessary to support the organisation in achieving its goals. An effective talent acquisition strategy supports the organisation’s ability to attract and retain high-performing employees. This includes the creation of effective sourcing and recruitment approaches, determining how employment branding attracts and retains candidates, and understanding the connection between organisational, HR and talent acquisition strategies. Succession planning is a key component for business success, enabling an organisation to recover when critical talent is lost. An effective succession plan includes a focus on development, preparing individuals for future opportunities. Systematic tracking is also critical. This interactive course forms a framework within which HR professionals can create, develop and implement an in-depth succession plan according to their organisation’s current and future needs. This allows the organisation to move from reactive replacement planning to a proactive strategic solution. Delegates will also learn how monitoring, developing and retaining critical talent creates a positive impact on the bottom line.
