The Human Capital Institute (http://www. humancapitalinstitute. org/hci/home. guid) (HCI), a global professional association and educator in talent management strategies, and Kelly Services, a leading human resources solutions provider, announced today that Kelly will sponsor HCI's Global Talent Management (http://www. humancapitalinstitute. org/hci/tracks_global_talent_management. guid) education and research track, one of several topics addressed in HCI's Talent Strategy (http://www. humancapitalinstitute. org/hci/track_community_talent_strategy. guid) community of interest, a community HCI considers critical to organizations working to leverage human capital.
Multinational organizations are faced with a complex set of challenges when attempting to coordinate and standardize their recruitment, internal deployment, and retention efforts worldwide. Beyond language considerations, the most obvious stumbling block, there are data protection laws, cultural differences, currency conversion, and legacy processes in each subsidiary that can be very difficult to dislodge. Moreover, most multinationals use a wide variety of technologies across their global operations and can face unforeseen difficulties and expenses when attempting to move to one platform for talent management.
HCI's track will use case studies to illustrate the common difficulties and successes multinational corporations have made in streamlining and integrating their global talent management efforts.
The track launches with a Webcast on July 24, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM ET. Its topic, "Global Recruitment: A Treasure Map for Top Talent," (http://www. humancapitalinstitute. org/hci/events_register. guid?_trainingID=810&_trainingScheduleID=7382) will explore the realities of hiring in India, China, and Eastern Europe, including where and how to find candidates. It also examines the unique laws and labor issues and how to work within them. In addition, the Webcast addresses the issue of internal talent and how it can be leveraged as part of a cohesive strategy.
Future Webcasts, along with white papers, education, and other resources also provide human capital professionals with important information, trends, and best and next practices in global talent management.
"Solving the talent management equation is critical to success for all organizations, but for multinationals there are more variables. HCI's new track is aimed at helping these organizations understand the complexities of global recruitment and retention," said Allan Schweyer, HCI's President & Executive Director.
"Talent management at a global level brings inherent challenges. For companies to attract top talent globally, it is imperative that their human resources practices and systems are integrated and standardized," said George Corona, executive vice president of Kelly Services. We are delighted to sponsor this education and research track that will address the key challenges and, more importantly, offer proactive solutions."
