Topic 1

Succession planning is a way to build a strong internal pipeline to fill positions before they’re empty. To focus on major global succession planning drivers and best practices and strategies to implement continuous succession planning in your company.

Topic 2

Why is business / corporates SA not winning the war for talent ?

Topic 3

Reducing time-to-hire: Moving quickly from sourcing - selecting - hiring ?

Topic 4

Talent analytics has entered the scene and is diversifying and enhancing HR leader’s ability to benchmark. As HR is evolving and becoming more data-driven, allowing them to make informed talent decisions, predict performance and conduct advanced workforce planning. Although benchmarking with analytics is exciting and revolutionary, many organisations still lag behind in its use, and those that do use it may not be fully maximizing the potential of its benefits.

Topic 5

As baby boomers take up retirement and leave voids in senior positions in organisations to be filled, the Gen-X, Gen-Y and Gen-Z put themselves up on the plate for the picking. Gen-X are considered the best workers, Gen-Y are the most passionate and Gen-Z are the most connected. Each have their very own strengths and weaknesses. Their difference can be summed up in terms of education level, qualifications, key characteristics or skills, and working motto. How can then organisations manage these groups to get maximum ROI ?

Topic 6

What are the Key Innovation trends to take your organisation forward ?

The morning will start with our welcome from our President, KC Makhubele , and then will go straight into learning the lessons that nature teaches us. We are sure that you will be able to learn so much from this key note and there is an opportunity to attend the workshop in the breakaway sessions, that will leave you with practical take aways and applications back at your desk.

Between lunch and afternoon tea, six/five breakaway sessions will run simultaneously allowing delegates the opportunity to pick what they want to attend. We encourage teams to split up and gain as much knowledge from these sessions, so that you can share with your team, once you return to your offices. These are designed to encourage engagement and active participation by delegates.  CPD points will be allocated to each of these breakaways.
