Human Resources and Talent Management Discussion

Human Resources and Talent Management


The Conference Board's expertise in talent management, demographics, and metrics, is striking a chord with executives struggling to align growth with an increasingly mobile and global labor market.

Evidence-Based HR
Serves as the next generation in Human Capital Analytics, developed because HR leaders are already discovering that it is more and more difficult to depend on the traditional intuitive arguments for making your business case.

Compensation and Benefits
Besides recruitment, HR professionals, line managers and organizational development (OD) professionals are using compensation and benefits for retention and workforce planning.

Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity executives have to build their staffs while maintaining a sense of cohesion and inclusion in their companies.

Leadership Development
Many senior-level executives identify Leadership Experience programs as the next generation of professional development.

Mature Workforce
Rising retirements and a shrinking supply of younger workers are transforming the workplace. The Conference Board's Mature Workforce Initiative is committed to helping companies adjust to this demographic shift.

Strategic Workforce Planning
Regardless of the approach, practitioners are finding the big challenges are in establishing accurate, consistent data company-wide, developing the right skill set within HR, and demonstrating to business leaders what strategic workforce planning can do.

Talent Management
Companies are striving to recruit, retain and motivate their most valuable employees through a variety of working arrangements. But existing methods provide only part of the answer.

Workforce Readiness
For the business community to help effectively advance solutions to address the skills gap and the related workforce readiness issue, we will have to challenge conventional thinking about what, where, when and how young people learn.
