PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE DATE FOR THIS EVENT HAS CHANGED FROM MARCH TO 14 & 15 JUNE

FOCUS ON TALENT

Organisations are in competition with each other to attract and retain talent. The responsibility for this lies with all functional leaders not just the traditional HR cohort.

At this event, we'll talk about the future of work, how to enhance your employer brand, how to win the war on talent, and how to retain your employees in today’s climate.

Solutions begin with a conversation!

VIEW WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Day 1: Reimagining Talent Acquisition

Hiring the right people has never been more important than it is now. We need top talent to help us overcome the challenges and seize the opportunities of the post-pandemic world.

Unfortunately, it’s also never been more difficult.

We are in a unique moment in time where a critical skills shortage (caused by an ageing workforce and the acceleration of automation and AI) is running headlong into the Great Resignation (caused by the critical skills shortage and 2 years of pandemic-induced reflection).

Our old recruitment strategies are falling woefully short. It’s time to reimagine recruitment.

You will leave with:

The 3 keys to attract the right talent in a critically skills short market
2 innovative ways to reimagine roles and broaden your candidate pool
A practical framework to help you write a job description and job ad that has the right candidates beating a path to your door
An understanding of the latest innovative sourcing strategies
Practical tips on increasing candidate experience and interview effectiveness

Day 2: 9 Keys to Avoid the Great Resignation

The Great Resignation is sweeping the globe and The Great Reshuffle is hitting Australia. Various Australian studies show that between 25 - 75% of the Australian workforce is planning to look for another role within the next 6 months.

But why are Aussies quitting? Just like the percentages above, the reasons vary wildly depending on the study.

Luckily, reverse engineering over 5,000 exit interviews gives us significant clues as to what workers really want and what employers need to deliver to hold onto their team through the Great Resignation and beyond.

This model, dubbed the 9 Currencies of Choice® was originally developed in 2010 and has recently been updated for the Post-Pandemic workforce. It has proven to be wildly successful in increasing employee retention, motivation, productivity and profitability.

If your success depends on your ability inspire and retain a great team this session is not to be missed.

You will leave with:

An understanding of how you directly impact your team’s performance and what you can do about it.
A proven framework to help hold your staff accountable for great performance (especially with a remote workforce)
A practical model, based on over 5,000 exit interviews and updated to include the latest international research on the Great Resignation. This model will help you understand (and deliver on) everything your staff needs to be happy, productive and perform at their best. We take the guesswork out of employee motivation.
