Blueprints for Internalizing the Recruitment Process |
It is common knowledge that mergers and acquisitions
present a unique set of challenges, specifically to the human resource function
at major corporations. On the heels of a multi-billion dollar merger, the EVP
of human resources at the nation's second largest financial services firm will
discuss the challenges of fusing a highly centralized HR function with another
– divided mainly along lines of business. Additionally, he will address the
benefits and drawbacks of internalizing corporate staffing and discuss blueprints for
future initiatives concerning recruitment and talent management in the changing world of HR.

will debate those issues that have raised the biggest concerns,

relationship.

discuss these issues which will include: What are the expectations for normalized
growth following the hyper-growth period of 2004? How does changing executive
compensation impact retained search fees? With tightening labor markets, how are
search firms boosting consultant levels and how will hiring outside of search impact
productivity? How will search firms expand into new services, deepen relationships

Building A Top Tier Workforce |
In a recovering economy jobs become more plentiful. However, the pool
of qualified job candidates is getting smaller, and will continue to
shrink in the decades ahead. How can HR practitioners leverage human
capital to meet their companies' needs? The HR chief of a growing,
super-regional wireless company talks about using the company's vision
and business strategy to acquire, retain, develop and manage talent. By
tapping into the company's strategic levers, HR is a full partner in
creating the company's success. Knowing your talent; engaging associates'
hearts as well as their heads and creating an environment in which everyone
can do their "best work," are pieces of the HR strategy that should be
followed and engaged by other companies facing similar challenges.
