BusinessDay HR Conference

BusinessDay presents its annual HR forum 2013, themed, Retaining and Motivating Top Talents for Organisational Growth. There has been an increase in interest in the development, retention and utilisation of talent within the workplace, particularly due to the fact that a lot of organisations now recognise that human capital is the core factor of an organisation’s success. Consequently, many organisations are increasingly realising the implications of talent development, utilisation and retention, which are considered to be the most significant factors behind the success or failure of any organisation irrespective of their level of growth and development. In the past, emphasis was laid on attraction/recruitment factors, while talent development and talent retention issues did not receive much attention. Motivating employees or talents helps to ensure that organisations retain their talent to the highest rate possible. A motivated employee wants to contribute to work areas outside of his specific job description. How many people could contribute far more than they currently do? You just need to know their skills, talent and experience, and take the time to tap into it. No talent is useless and talents bring the unique skills and abilities to organisations. However, talent managers need to use necessary measures to utilise these skills and competencies. Talents require opportunities to be displayed; and proper opportunities need to be provided for everyone to learn, grow and strive to fulfill their potential. These issues are now becoming challenging factors for organisational leaders as many organisations are already facing this critical issue of talent shortage. When skilled and knowledgeable employees leave the organisation, their skills and knowledge also leave with them. This ‘brain-drain’ is something organisations would like to avoid or at least lessen the impact. In view of these challenges, BusinessDay will be bringing together forward thinking HR leaders from across top organisations to discuss and address this critical challenge, exchange ideas and solutions, and interact and network with renowned experts in Talent Management, Leadership, Strategy and Management. Event Details: Date: May 30th, 2013.
