Add To Cart
The level of volatility in the U.S. and global economies, and changes in workforce demand and availability – combined with financial pressures now confronting employers – have created a new set of challenges for American companies. As U.S. employers remain focused on cost management and improving productivity, they need to craft rewards and talent management strategies aligned with what top talent and critical-skill workers are looking for.

Yet, according to Towers Watson’s 2012 – 2013 Talent Management and Rewards Survey — U.S. Report, when it comes to attracting employees with critical skills and other top talent, more than 60% of survey respondents report significant difficulty. The good news is that the research also indicates that organizations with highly engaged employees tend to be more profitable, which means that companies can improve the return on their investments in reward and talent management programs by focusing on the top drivers of sustainable engagement.

Join Keith Caver, North America Practice Leader, Talent Management, and Mike Patrick, Senior Consultant, Rewards, from Towers Watson, for an in-depth look at how to ensure workers get what they need, while organizations realize stronger outcomes. Through the lens of Towers Watson’s 2012 – 2013 Talent Management and Rewards Study – U.S. report, the presenters will discuss:

•Challenges organizations face in attracting and retaining the high-potential and critically skilled employees necessary to increase their competitiveness
•Employee and employer differing views on drivers of attraction and retention, and related performance management implications
•The drivers of sustainable engagement of U.S. employers and actions organizations can take to build sustainable engagement
•The importance of differentiating talent management and reward programs
