Talent management is a hot issue for HR practitioners as new business models, changing labour market demographics and international competition make the task of recruiting, developing and retaining key employees all the more difficult.

A recent IRS talent management conference brought together real expertise in the subject, with speakers including Tom Crawford, head of people brand at Deloitte and Touche, and Bob Hughes, talent and employee engagement manager at Network Rail.
If you were not able to be there, you can get a good idea of how it went from a series of webcasts of the speakers in action. This move into webcasts is a first for IRS and it adds another channel through which we can help HR practitioners in their roles.
