Foundations of Talent Management: The Business Value of Talent explores why a strategic approach to talent is critical to your business's bottom line—not simply an administrative function. This session will help you identify and understand the value of your people and connect your workforce strategy to your company's long-term goals.

This workshop is part of The Talent Blueprint: From Attraction to Retention, a four-part series covering the essential pillars of modern talent management. Each session is designed to stand alone, so you can attend this workshop individually or participate in the full series.

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify the business value of your people and workforce.
• Connect talent management strategies to your company's broader business goals.
• Recognize why talent management is more than an administrative or human resources function.
• Begin evaluating how your approach to talent can support long-term business performance.

Who should attend

This workshop is designed for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and business leaders who want to better understand the connection between their people strategy and business goals. It is especially relevant for leaders who want to take a more intentional approach to managing and developing their workforce.

What you’ll walk away with

You will leave with a clearer understanding of the role talent plays in your business and practical ways to begin viewing workforce decisions through a strategic business lens. You will also gain a foundation for thinking about how your people strategy can support your company's long-term goals.
