INTRODUCTION

Talent management has emerged as a top priority for organizations over the last decade and has only been accelerated by the pandemic. The need to design and implement agile and flexible talent management programs has never been more critical in attracting and retaining top talent. The challenges posed for organizations managing geographically dispersed workforces, the ongoing supply and demand issues for top-talent, and the need to keep pace with the speed of technological, environmental, and social change are unprecedented.

What will set organizations apart is an integrated, human-centred, and forward-thinking approach to talent management design and implementation, that aligns with strategic priorities. In this program, you will learn how to develop leaders to effectively manage remote and hybrid teams, plug identified gaps in your workforce plan, and keep the pipeline filled with skilled and motivated workers who are aligned with organizational goals and values.
