Overview: "Amazing" is the most accurate word to describe the talent management approaches at Facebook. Everyone knows about the amazing growth and the business results produced by Facebook but few have had the time to study and dissect their Talent Management practices. There practices are so advanced that some of them even exceed the approaches used by their Silicon Valley neighbor Google.

This webinar is a case study covering the Talent Management practices at Facebook. Attendees will leave not just knowing about dozens of their advanced talent practices but also how and why each one is effective. The seminar will cover traditional talent areas including recruiting, retention and development but it will also highlight some extraordinary practices in workplace design, onboarding, internal movement as well as increasing speed and innovation. The talent practices also produce amazing workforce productivity results. For example, the average Facebook employee produces well over $1 million in revenue each year. Facebook has also been recognized for its outstanding employer brand and its extremely high retention rate. In this interactive session, the renowned Talent Management strategist Dr. Sullivan will highlight in this case study the bold and aggressive practices that are being implemented by the amazing Talent Management team at Facebook. Expect to leave the session with a sense of excitement and a bold new outlook on what is possible in the area of Talent Management.

Why should you attend: If you expect to maintain a lead in Talent Management, you must continually learn about the best practices at the best firms. Well, almost everyone on the planet is aware of amazing start and rapid continuous growth of Facebook. Facebook has managed to not just produce amazing business results they have also developed and implemented an amazing array of Talent Management practices that nearly match the equally startling work done at their Silicon Valley neighbor, Google.

Unless you have contacts at Facebook, it's really difficult without help to keep up with the innovative talent management approaches that they have developed and implemented. In my experience, understanding the best practices (as well as their business impacts and why they work) at leading firms like Facebook and Google is essential if you want to understand the trends and the direction that your own Talent Management effort may eventually have to take. And because Facebook is a social media firm, you can further learn how they use social media to improve recruiting, retention, development and best practice sharing.
