Retaining and developing talent is a bigger challenge than attracting and selecting talent for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Gaining a high degree of employee commitment and alignment in SMEs is critical to ensuring best practices permeate the organization. Driving a talent mindset is crucial for people to develop a deep sense of belonging where the contribution of each individual is very visible. Therefore, adopting a long range perspective with high engagement, clear direction, long retention and a talent mindset are key to the success of an SME and its evolving culture. Maysa Hawwash, National Manager Talent Management Solutions at Drake International, will talk about issues small to medium size enterprises face around onboarding, leadership development and succession management.
