People are at the heart of high performing organisations. Great people create value in business, while poor talent consumes time and money. Measuring, understanding, and benchmarking talent is key to bringing the best people in and getting the best people to stay.
Sign up for our exciting panel discussion on 29 March and hear from the experts on effective talent management as a science, the value of data, and how to get the most business value from science-led leadership, selection and retention strategies.
Lumenii’s Benjamin Buckingham will present best practices to address the biggest leadership mistake. Jaintheran Naidoo will then facilitate the dynamic panel discussion, joined by Shanaaz Parker, Manoko Ratala and Benjamin Buckingham. Audience members will be encouraged to share questions to be answered by the panel.
All sign-ups will receive the recording and resources from the webinar, even if you can't attend the live event.
