This interactive workshop is designed for business owners, executives, HR leaders, managers, and anyone responsible for building strong teams and driving results.

This session will be led by Art Atkinson, an experienced speaker and trainer with decades of leadership development experience. During his career, Art oversaw learning and talent development for Express Employment International, training more than 6,000 new franchisees and staff members, while also teaching more than 3,000 small business seminars across North America.

Many organizations are discovering that they simply don’t have employees with the skills they need to meet today’s demands, let alone tomorrow’s. The result? A workforce that is underprepared, overburdened, and increasingly disengaged. But there is a way forward, and it starts with talent optimization.

In this workshop you will:

  • Learn what talent optimization is
  • Learn the four keys to talent optimization
  • Learn the six silent costs that can damage your business
  • Learn how to create a work environment where team members are fully engaged, more productive, and have high job satisfaction

Your talent is your greatest competitive advantage. Leaders at all levels of management will leave challenged to think about talent optimization in a deeper way and better equipped to create an exceptional working environment for their teams.
