Growing pains: How to effectively recruit and retain talent

Learn to build a high-performing and skilled team as you accelerate your growth.

Growth Works

Take a people-first approach to business.

You already know that having the right people in your business will help you achieve your growth goals in a variety of ways – ranging from filling skills gaps to bringing new innovation into market for your market. But you’ll have likely experienced the challenges of finding them, particularly as we navigate one of the most challenging labour markets in recent memory.

This practical three-session course will explore the contributing factors to recruiting and retaining talent; unpacking common misunderstandings of approaches within business, and how to manage performance, culture and balancing mutual fit with employees and the business.

You will also get personalised recommendations identifying your particular strengths and areas for development using our unique Talend Development Maturity Index (TDMI), with 1-to-1 support to enable immediate actions as a result.
