 ATDps: February 2016 Chapter Meeting

Star Talent: Investing in High-Potential Employee Development  

Competency:

This chapter meeting will focus on the Managing Learning Programs pillar of ATD's overall competency model.


Retaining key talent is an ongoing challenge for many organizations, especially as job markets continue to improve. This interactive session is for anyone looking to specifically develop and retain high-potential employees, whether as an internal learning, organizational development, or human resources practitioner, or as an external consultant. You’ll walk away with tools and information to successfully create and implement a high-potential development program to invest in star talent. Specific topics addressed include: partnering with executives, ideas for program components and structure, communication templates, considerations for identifying high-potential talent, distinguishing a high-performer from a high-potential, and transparency for a program within an organization. You’ll have a great foundation to build on that sets you up for program success!

After the session, participants will be able to:

  • Utilize information and tools provided to design, develop, and implement a learning program for high-potential employees.
  • Explore how high-potential talent is identified within an organization.
  • Discover strategies to work with executives and other stakeholders when launching and communicating about leadership development/learning initiatives.
  • Create an action plan for next steps.
