Super Human-Capital Management: Transforming Your Workforce Into a Competitive Weapon

Description

World-class manufacturing is impossible without world-class talent.  Yet 70% of U.S. manufacturers aren't anywhere near having world-class human capital management.

How can U.S. manufacturers compete in a global economy without great talent?

Fortunately, new research illuminates a path to competitiveness by identifying leading firms -- call them Super Human-Capital Manufacturers (SHCMs) -- who outperform their peers in key business outcomes and metrics.  During this IndustryWeek-hosted webinar you’ll learn:

• How Super HCM organizations differentiate themselves from other manufacturers     
• What specific Super HCM practices have the greatest impact on productivity and profitability
• How to make the transition to a Super HCM

Speakers include:

• Curt Lawhead, Dean, University Leadership College for Westinghouse Electric Company
• Lauri Lipka, Director, Global Talent Management and Organizational Effectiveness, AGCO
• Bill Jackson, Vice President and Executive Consultant, Development Dimensions International, Inc. (DDI)
• John Brandt, former editor-in-chief of IndustryWeek and current CEO of the MPI Group.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to turn your workforce into a competitive weapon!
