Instructor Information:
Stuart G. Walesh, Ph.D., P.E., F.NSPE, Dist.M.ASCE
Course Length:
1.5 Hours
Purpose and Background
Are you, as an executive or manager, concerned that the gradual upturn in the economy may cause some of your top employees – your “A” personnel – to leave your business, government, or other organization? Top-flight professionals have options that they may have been reluctant to exercise during the tight job market. However, now they can increasingly act on their options. On the other side of the coin, would you like to have “A” personnel from other organizations and recent university graduates, seek out your organization?
If your answer is “yes” to one or both questions, consider attending this webinar. Ask other members of your organization, such as division, office, department, and HR managers to join you. View the economic upturn as an opportunity to strengthen your team.
This forward-looking webinar will help you retain top personnel and recruit more like them. Participants receive a detailed handout on which the webinar will draw. The handout includes references to articles, books, e-newsletters, websites, and other selfstudy materials.
Learning Objectives
As a result of actively participating in this webinar, you will be able to strengthen your most important resource – your personnel – by proactively retaining and recruiting what you define as top-flight professionals. “The employer gets the employees he deserves,” according to executive J. Paul Getty.
