BLR’s Forum Events Adds Talent Acquisition and Retention Summit and HR Strategy Summit to 2019 Offerings
By Ericka Howard | Product Manager, Digital Media and Events New events added to the Forum Events lineup in the Human Resources sector will appeal to a specific subset of HR executives and allow them to source solutions for their business needs, as well as network with peers to discuss best practices and industry pain points. Old Saybrook, CT – Forum Events, a leading networking event lineup that lets senior-level executives meet with high-quality solution providers, improving ROI by optimizing the sourcing process, is pleased to announce the addition of two new summits to the event roster for 2019. The new Talent Acquisition and Retention Summit will be held twice in 2019, first on April 15-16 at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, D.C., and the second on October 14-15 at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa & Marina in San Diego, CA. The new HR Strategy Summit will be held from November 12-14, 2019, at the Renaissance Hotel in Nashville, TN. It will be co-located with the HR World event and will be a shortened format to accommodate those who are attending both the Summit and HR World. The summits are designed specifically for organization managers, directors, and VPs with pain points or projects in the pipeline and who are actively seeking solutions. Throughout the events, the attendees will not only meet one-on-one with solution providers targeted to serve their needs, but also attend education workshops and seminars, in addition to networking with peers from other leading companies. “Turnover is extremely expensive, and in today’s very challenging market, many companies are wrestling with how to hold onto their key employees and recruit new ones,” says Tony Kessler, senior managing editor with BLR. “It’s essential that you become familiar with the latest tools, tactics, and techniques for finding, motivating, and retaining your valuable employees. Beyond that, your HR strategies need to be aligned so that you have a long-term plan in place that allows and encourages your workforce—and therefore your business—to succeed.” Both new Forum events are free for qualified delegate attendees.

Define Your Talent Management Approach
Talent management, talent strategy, HR planning – whatever you want to call it, talent management is a taboo for many businesses and yet a vital process for hiring and nurturing leaders. In a study by Bersin, when businesses were asked to define talent management, 80% classified it as leadership development, 78% as recruiting, 76% as training and development, 74% as performance management, 72% as succession planning, 67% as management training, 58% as workforce planning and 42% compensation. Below is a breakdown of the various, most popular talent management processes: Progressive HR: Consider this traditional Human Resources with a twist. Progressive HR fulfills the role of the average HR team, and yet extends into the investment of employees. A progressive HR process believes performance and employee value is critical for business success.
Supply and Demand: Whether it depends on short or long-term goals, this process requires identifying needs, and then recruiting new staff members to fulfill those needs. This is a simple form of talent management and does not take into account the further needs of a company, occasionally creating talent gaps in the workplace. To lower that risk – consider focusing on workforce planning and a succession strategy, rather than just filling seats. Recruitment: Considered the most popular form of talent management, recruitment requires a rebranding of the hiring process. Under this category, “talent managers” are basically recruiters and they streamline the management principles to develop a hiring ‘flow.’ In this scenario – talent is usually defined in reference to key roles. Development: This strategy focuses on training and growing talent through new learning processes. This strategy identifies people’s skills and then builds on them. Focusing on strengths, development leverages abilities and pushes employees to their full potential. The focus in this aspect is people rather than job roles – developing leaders rather than employees. Engagement and Retention: Employee engagement is critical for any workforce – not only does it lead to a healthy, well-rounded environment, but it also creates feedback and a common cause. Communication throughout all levels of a company allows for informed decisions and better understanding. This form of talent management focuses on goals and the journey to reach them using communication as a key tool. This strategy focuses on putting key people into key roles. By identifying the role or process that suits you and your company’s needs, you will be able to better understand the role of a recruiter and establish a strategy for hiring and retaining top talent.
