Key Topic Areas for Today
Management Development
Often talked about and today more than ever a necessity that
impacts retention and succession.
Social Networking
How can you use it for hiring or networking? How
can it impact customer satisfaction?
Gen Y Is there really a
difference in values of generations or is it just behavior?
Talent Management Have you strategically planned your
succession as baby boomers retire? It is projected that over
4 million jobs will be unfilled in 2008. 7 million federal
workers are eligible to retire in 2008. Is your
organization ready?
Knowledge Management How will you ensure that you will
not lose the intellectual capital as people retire?
Ask about our MENTORING programs.
Successful companies know that in times of
uncertainty they must be aggressive instead of pulling back.
In this way they are well positioned for the recovery.
For more information ask about the article by Gene
Siciliano,
Basic skills: While the media lists companies who are
laying off staff, successful companies know they must
deliver those programs that will encourage improved
performance at all levels. ASK about our
supervisory, leadership, business writing and
customer service programs, that many companies are
requesting.
With the increase in non-English speaking employees
it is important to have resources who can deliver accurate
legal information respectful of cultural differences.
Ask about the Hispanic resources available.
Sub-contracting
the right way is just as important as finding the right
match between internal and external practitioners.
Learn the questions to ask and consider. Ask Harriet
Cohen about the program she delivered at an ASTD special
division. She is still getting calls about the
subject, asking how to handle various situations.
Assessments:
So many are out there and sometimes it gets confusing
which are best for which situation. Training Solutions
can offer a wide range of assessments from 360º to MBTI,
also available are SDI, Inscape, and others, including
axiometrics. Just ask...
e-learning. Is your IT department running your
company? Are you afraid to show what you don't know
about e-learning? It isn't the panacea and it doesn't fit
every situation, but it is not as scary as some think.
