Conference Description:

TALENTCON 2019: The Employee Experience Revolution learn how to strategically design and develop positive employee experiences at every stage of the employment lifecycle to promote sustainable employee engagement, retention, and business innovation.
A growing body of research reveals an irrefutable link between employee experience (EX) and employee engagement and productivity, propelling EX to the top of HR’s strategic priorities for 2019.
Top employment brands recognize that to win the war for talent and counter increasing turnover and disengagement, they must ensure that their efforts to recruit, onboard, manage performance, develop leaders, manage change, create and maintain a healthy culture, and provide exceptional wellness and benefits programs actually deliver a positive employee experience.
If candidates and employees have a bad experience at any of these integral touchpoints in the employment lifecycle, you run the risk of losing them to your competitors—and losing money. But, when organizations excel at EX they are far more likely to attract, engage, and retain talent—plain and simple.

When you attend TalentCon, you will learn how to:
Skyrocket the return on investment for initiatives to recruit and onboard talent
Create a retention- and productivity-boosting benefits experience that incorporates the latest research on behavioral economics to structure incentive- and recognition-based programs
Diagnosis and fix your performance management system by implementing proven feedback-collection and goal setting techniques
Develop a continuous listening structure and cross-functional data-sharing pipeline to better inform your talent management efforts and investments
Create customized professional development experiences for high potential employees (HIPOs) so they’re continually engaged and you’re better prepared to meet succession planning and leadership development needs
Finetune your employee value proposition and brand message so you don’t lose out on attracting talent whose passion aligns with your workplace culture and staffing needs
Elevate HR’s seat at the executive table by focusing on employee experience to drive retention, reduce turnover, and positively contribute to your organization’s bottom line
And so much more!

Why Attend

RECRUITING – Fine tune and fortify your external-facing brand to attract the talent that’s right for your organization and create a seamless and successful candidate experience.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT – Design feedback, performance, and professional development goals around personal employee fulfillment in a way that also meets business needs.
METRICS & MEASUREMENT – Apply cross-functional data-sharing programs that will help you align your people analytics with your EX strategy.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT – Nurture high-potential talent (HIPOs) for a stronger leadership pipeline while increasing employee engagement and business continuity.
WELLNESS & BENEFITS – Use behavioral economics to design and build high-value wellness and incentives programs and help employees better manage work/life balance and everyday stress.
CULTURE – Map your culture and how it aligns to your organization’s core mission and values to identify the cultural deficits that may be causing disengagement and turnover.

Why is it important to address the employee experience?
It will have an impact on business: The 2017 Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends states that "a strong employee experience also drives a strong customer experience.” By focusing on EX, you can improve your talent pipeline and provide a better deliverable for your customers.
Neglecting your employee development efforts could hurt retention: 40% of employees who receive poor job training leave their positions within the first year, according to a recent go2HR survey.
Turnover is costly: A recent SHRM study shows that losing an employee salaried at $60,000 will cost the company anywhere from $30,000 to $45,000 to hire and train a replacement.
Engagement is waning: Proudfood Consulting estimates that nearly 29% of company time is unproductive – the equivalent of 33.5 days per worker per year. The estimated cost of this lack of productivity tops out at nearly $600 billion per year in the United States.
