Description:The differentiator for businesses nimble enough to navigate growth in this recovery economy is the very asset you may think of only as an expense: your talent.

It is time to shift from crisis mode to a growth agenda in this business environment unlike any experienced before. With a leaner work force and more global competition, it is more important than ever to align your talent strategy with business objectives and maximize workforce motivation and productivity.

In this session, we will:
·Provide you with recent research validating the return on talent strategy investment
·Demonstrate how you can transform your case for talent management into a compelling business case
·Reveal the options and tools available to you to accelerate your business' transformation from save-to-survive to invest-to-thrive mode
