When it comes to talent development, does your company help everybody to grow, or just a select few? Do your career development policies sound better than they actually are? In a recent survey, two-thirds of company-switchers cited lack of development as a key reason. How do you ensure your talented people stay and reach their full potential? In this webinar, Westerman will discuss findings from their survey of over 1,000 workers and interviews with 25 large organizations to reveal the best practices to implement and pitfalls to avoid. Learn more from Westerman during his courses Essential IT for Non-IT Executives and Internet of Things: Business Implications and Opportunities.
