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 HHR conference agenda will therefore reflect this by including sessions such as:
- keynote addresses from the Head of Organisation Development and Change at Nokia, and from the Chairman of The FutureWork Forum
- masterclasses on topics such as building a competency framework; identifying talent; managing and developing talent through rewards and incentives; and integrating talent management into organisational structures
- practical skills-building exercises for you to take to your NGO
- case studies from participating humanitarian NGOs, including reflection on talent management in the Haiti emergency response
- 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.
The conference venue is Novotel Survilliers Saint Witz, near Paris Charles de Gaulle International airport and within an easy access from Central Paris, Gare du Nord (Eurostar terminal) and A1 motorway north. The conference timings will allow arrival in the morning of Wednesday 19 May and departure after lunch on Friday 21 May. The conference fee includes accommodation on 19 and 20 May and full board.
Once again, this is not a conference to be missed.
