Description
Overview
Selection—ensuring you have the right people in the right positions, both for new hires and existing employees—is essential for organizational success. Talent acquisition requires more than finding people with the right technical skills and experience for the job. Leaders must find people that use their skills to work smart, have the commitment to work hard, and demonstrate the personality skills needed to work well with others.
Selecting Achievers™ offers a proven and powerful framework for attracting, developing and retaining great people. You will learn a suite of techniques and concepts to evaluate candidates to find successful and productive members for your team. Additionally, you will acquire strategies for evaluating your current team for promotion, demotion, reconfiguration and, when necessary, deselection. Selecting Achievers™ provides companies with strategies to find, grow and retain the effective team of people critical to your bottom line.
