About the Course
The core challenge for modern organizations is not just finding talent, but creating an ecosystem where that talent thrives and stays. Organizations need results they can prove, which requires a shift toward Workforce Planning and HR Analytics. To remain competitive, you must demonstrate proficiency in:
1. Competency Mapping, 2. 9-Box Grid Calibration, 3. eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score) Analysis, 4. Succession Risk Assessment, and 5. Total Rewards Optimization.This course utilizes the Gallup Q12 engagement framework to provide a structured system for measuring and improving the employee experience.
This program turns scattered HR initiatives into a cohesive talent strategy. You will learn how to transition from intuition-based management to data-driven decision-making using Talent Dashboards and Stay Interview protocols. Talent Management and Retention involves the alignment of recruitment, performance, and development functions to maximize organizational capability. Professionals use it to reduce the cost of turnover and bridge critical skill gaps. During this five-day intensive, you will practice 9-Box Grid placement in a workshop setting while being introduced to advanced AI-assisted predictive attrition modeling at an overview level.
We acknowledge the real-world constraints you face, including tightening budgets, hybrid work complexities, and the accelerating demand for digital literacy. This course is specifically engineered for practitioners who must deliver high-impact results despite these operational pressures, ensuring your talent strategy is both robust and adaptable to market shifts.
