The Alliance: Managing Talent in the Networked Age
TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 2016 – 11:00AM – 12:15 PM
The employer-employee relationship is broken. Managers face a seemingly impossible dilemma: You can’t afford to offer lifetime employment. But you can’t build a lasting, innovative business when everyone acts like a free agent. The solution: Stop thinking of employees as family or free agents and start thinking of them as allies on a tour of duty.
Based on Ben’s recent New York Times bestselling book with Reid Hoffman, founder/chairman of LinkedIn, in this keynote he explains how to recruit, manage, and retain the entrepreneurial employees your business needs to succeed in the networked age. You’ll learn:
• What all innovative companies do with their best employees.
• Why it’s possible to rebuild trust and loyalty with your employees even though you can’t guarantee lifetime employment.
• How to manage employees who seek constant career growth by defining unique “tours of duty.”
• Why it pays to empower your employees to build their personal brands and expand their professional networks.
• How to develop an employee value proposition that resonates with millennials.
