A recent poll of 1,400 workers found that 84% plan to look for a new job in the next 10 months. Concern is growing because retaining, recruiting and managing talents will become more difficult and complicated in 2012. Furthermore, talent is increasingly the only sustainable differentiator organization have. Developing and pursuing a coherent talent management strategy is essential to executing on business strategy.
This year’s Talent Management Asia (22-23 Nov 2011, Singapore) is addressing the key areas of talent Management including how to utilise Social Media Recruitment, optimizing hiring at all levels of your management hierarchy, how to manage the impression of your ‘employer brand’ in an overly connected world and getting the Line Managers involved in Talent Management to harness high performers.
Gyan Nagpal, Principle & CEO of PeopleLENS Global Associates, believes that when it comes to acquiring good talent, attitude trumps skill anytime. “There are three basic principles I follow – the first is to hire for attitude and train for skill, secondly diverse teams are cooler and much more fun. Finally, experience is a blunt weapon without purpose – I’d trade a 20 page CV any day, for a little fire in the belly,” said Nagpal
Koh Ying Ying, the Director of Talent Resourcing, at InterContinental Hotels Group Asia Pacific is attracted to candidates who demonstrate a high degree of energy, enthusiasm and endeavors to find out what makes one tick in an organization. But she is slightly more methodical in her approach to developing creative talent acquisition strategies in an increasingly competitive environment.
“Continual internal stakeholder feedback, review and buy-in; external benchmarking; understanding of how our talent acquisition strategies are aligned with the business objectives in the short and mid term, always on the look-out on innovation and ensuring that we are globally aligned and locally relevant,” explained Koh.
Both Koh and Nagpal will be speaking at the 4th Annual Talent Management Asia Summit. Read their full interviews here.
