The Talent Pool provides a 12 month individually tailored training programme for the people an organisation just can't afford to lose. This flexible programme combines face to face and online learning to enable people to learn and develop whilst still delivering their business objectives. The programme enables people to learn from the best practices of other talented people in differing organisations thus widening perspectives and creating practical business solutions. Choosing this programme enables organisations to invest wisely in their most talented people to prevent them from taking their expertise, skills and knowledge to the competition. This has never been more critical given the recent reports that over 53% of people leave their organisations for better development opportunities elsewhere. Managers tell us that the Talent Pool take the hassle out of providing leading edge development when insufficient resources exist internally.
Deborah Meaden from the hit BBC show Dragons Den, will be sharing her experiences and insight with talentpool members at our annual conference in May 2009.
