Every week, I review blogs and other publications that cover talent development to find the very best talent development posts. This week, you’ll find pointers to pieces about retaining top talent, an impending talent bloodbath, technology and training, and engaging employees in long term career planning.
From Susan Cramm: Retaining Top Talent: Yes, It Really Is All About Them
“The memory of ‘suddenly’ losing one of your best and brightest never seems to fade. The story is always the same: They weren’t looking, but a great opportunity just fell into their lap (yeah, right).”
From Social Hire: The Impending Talent Bloodbath – Are You Ready?
“Imagine a situation where your best staff are leaving in droves. Scrambling out the door at a rate your company has never seen before.”
From Josh Bersin: MOOCs, LMS, and Learning Technology for 2013 and Beyond
“Every day there is more exciting news about the emerging market for MOOCs (massive open online courses), new learning solutions, and the expansion of tools for corporate learning.”
From Monster Thinking: Engage Employees in Long Term Career Planning
“Inventories? Land, buildings and machinery? R&D, technology and patents? Actually, for most companies, the largest expenditure is in people: salaries, benefits, recruiting and so on. Yet companies seem to do so little to leverage and protect this investment compared to other areas.”
