With increased pressure to continuously attract and retain the right key talents in a competitive labour market, it is important for organisations today to develop a sustainable talent pipeline for building present and future strategic capabilities and responsive succession planning. This means that HR leaders need to build a high potential talent programme structure that allows the business to fulfil its strategic and people ambition. The challenge for HR is to balance the need to standardise globally for cost efficiencies and consistency in quality while contextualising to meet individual business objectives and employee aspirations. This short session hopes to share with the audience the key challenges, guidelines, and lessons learnt from building a global high potential programme with a minimal budget, high expectations, and tight deadlines.
