Talent Management for Knowledge Workers

Too often, operating managers have not been properly prepared to attract, develop and retain knowledge workers. After all, knowledge workers expect different things from their employers than other workers do. In this session, hear what your organization needs to do to attract, develop and retain knowledge workers and to transfer their explicit technical knowledge from one generation to the next.

Why Should You Attend | Online Training Portal for professionals

In many organizations, the business depends on specialized knowledge of engineering, research and development, or professional knowledge such as medical, legal, or IT. Yet too many organizations focus most attention on preparing people for vertical promotions (up the organization chart) rather than for horizontal promotions (across the continuum of technical expertise tied to a dual career ladder). In many cases, the organization’s engineers or other technical workers are nearing retirement and nothing has been done to prepare the organization for mass exits of critical competitive knowledge of the business, work processes, customers, and other such valuable explicit knowledge. This session focuses on what is needed to gear talent management to knowledge workers.
