One of the best strategies for retaining talent is ensuring that the right candidate is placed in the best position. Several studies (The Saratoga Institute, the Society for Human Resource Management, and Hewitt Associates) estimate the cost of replacing talent at approximately 1.5 times the annual salary of the job opening. Hiring and Onboarding Talent addresses a methodology for hiring and retaining talent at UM. It gives an overview of the hiring process that includes everything from behavioral interviewing to onboarding, enabling leaders to hire employees who will contribute to a stable and high-performing team. Participants will focus on identifying talent needs, developing techniques to predict success based on past performance, creating an interview plan and peer interviewing process, developing a plan for onboarding, and retaining new talent.
