Course Overview
Most disputes about scarce expertise retention begin as a conversation that was handled badly. The organisation's reputation as an employer is built or lost through this area of people management and development. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this strand of people management and development under scrutiny. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better scarce expertise retention is rarely technical. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the people management and development capability and under-invest in testing it. The course covers this strand of people management and development at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from scarce expertise retention, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this area of people management and development. The final session converts the week's work on the people management and development discipline into commitments with owners and dates.
