Talent Management Conference
Talent and business in 2022: Attracting, Engaging, Optimising and Growing Talent
What types of employer brands elicit the highest response from the labour market? What drives those people to join that company, work hard and stay for years to come? What core talent management practices stand the test of time while allowing for flexibility when business or market conditions change?
