StepStone (OSE:STP)(LSE:STPS), the leading provider of human capital management solutions, today announced a series of global seminars spanning 21 cities designed to highlight how it’s now HR’s time to shine. The roadshow will demonstrate how HR departments can take advantage of the slowdown and show their true value by helping their organisation win what StepStone has identified as the Cold War for Talent. A global survey of the world’s largest employers, published recently by StepStone, showed that despite widespread redundancies, many organisations are still finding it difficult to recruit and retain top talent.
StepStone’s seminars, which will take place during May and June visiting cities in the UK, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa and North America, will discuss how HR can increase its positive impact on the business by retaining its greatest talent assets, assess and develop employee skills to optimise internal resources and how to minimise the effects on workforce motivation if redundancies prove unavoidable.
The seminar will allow attendees to learn from other organsiations, including Mouchel about the talent management challenges they have faced as well as industry experts, such as PA Consulting who will be sharing their best practice thinking on workforce planning and analytics. The interactive sessions provide a unique opportunity for HR executives to evaluate their Talent Strategy with StepStone’s assessment tool, share experiences, network with other talent management professionals and focus on a specific topic of choice in a 1:1 session with a StepStone Best Practice Consultant.
“Our events come at a crucial time for the HR industry,” explains Jim Cassidy, Chief Marketing Officer. “Our recent global research identified the slowdown as an opportunity for HR to shine. Under the guidance of HR, a company can extract huge value from its talent strategy, drive cost savings and optimise its workforce. HR should hold the responsibility of managing internal and external talent, helping the business reposition itself for success once recovery begins.”
