Humanitarian HR Conference 2010 – Paris, France
Talent Management: Effective strategies for managing and developing your workforce
A 3-day conference for HR professionals and managers engaged in or influencing the resourcing, development and retention of workforce in humanitarian NGOs.
People In Aid’s Humanitarian HR network (formerly known as EPN) exists to improve the ability of participating organisations, both individually and as a community, to find, select, prepare and retain personnel within a humanitarian context.
Getting the right people in the right place at the right time and keeping them there continues to be a major preoccupation for humanitarian organisations.
This year's conference agenda will reflect this by including themes such as:
- keynote address from the Head of Organisation Development and Change at Nokia
- master classes on topics such as building a competency framework; identifying and tracking talent; recognising talent through certification; and managing and developing talent
- practical skills-building exercises for you to take to your NGO
- case studies from participating humanitarian NGOs
- peer learning process to learn or to refresh in your mind
- poster presentations on topical issues surrounding talent management.
With plenty of participation and networking opportunities, the agenda will reflect your experiences and concerns, ensuring that you learn whilst doing and gain new perspectives on how talent can be effectively managed within your organisation and in the humanitarian sector as a whole.
Once again, this is not a conference to be missed.
