HR Leadership and Talent Management

I'm looking forward to giving the keynote at the Halogen Software User Conference this morning in Ottawa. 

The topic: How Talent Management Turns HR Pros into HR Leaders.

For years, HR folks have wondered how they can escape the "support staff" label and become a part of the action in business. Those willing to gain in-depth expertise in every phase of managing a company's talent have the opportunity to change their value--and status--in the organization.

Note: I've been off the online radar for a couple of months. My Dad passed away at the end of July following a brief illness. Sincere thanks to those who checked in to find out what was going on and offer their sympathy and support. I'll be writing a bit more about all of that shortly.

In addition to this great info, I thought I'd add what I consider to be the most important factor in Improving Employee Satisfaction

Once you take this into consideration....top talent stays, productivity goes up and profits increase dramatically. It's like following a cookie recipe!
