SELECTING AND DEVELOPING GREAT TALENT

OVERVIEW: In this seminar we first establish that it is a talent war out there and that in order to be competitive in any industry you must hire and train the best talent.  We put time into establishing the criteria we are looking for in any position and determining which items are critical and which may be trainable items.  We take a philosophical look at our hiring options.  There is attention spent on the do's and don't of hiring along with addressing some legalities.  We then talk about how to set up a proper orientation and training program which will engage the new hire and also prepare them for their position.  While this presentation is originally designed to be more philosophical and universally applied, the seminar can get very specific if all audience members share similar objectives.  This will be established during the pre-seminar meeting.

RECOMMENDATIONS: This seminar works best with smaller groups of 5 to 30 participants.  As the group exceeds 30 participants, there is less interaction of questions and answers.  For groups over 50 this seminar takes on more of a lecture format.  This presentation can be done in 1.5 hours.  Expanding the time allows for more personal direction for participants.  We would recommend never exceeding 3 hours for this presentation.   We recommend doing this presentation at either the start, or end of the business day.  For all of our presentations we recommend a well lit, comfortable, cool room, with minimal distractions.

FEES:  As each of our seminars are customized, the fees may vary based upon the amount of preparation time needed.  A good starting point would be to expect to pay $800 for 10 participants for the 1.5 hour seminar.  As the number of participants goes up, the cost per participant drops. This fee would include the pre-seminar meeting, custom preparation, reasonable travel time, etc.  Extraneous fees, if any, would be discussed at the pre-seminar meeting.  These could include additional travel expenses, facility rental, support materials, etc.
