In today’s struggling economy, employers have been forced to cut back on virtually every business expense and investment regardless of whether or not it’s a good idea or a necessary expenditure. In the last few years those that have been able to stay competitive and profitable have turned to implementing creative solutions to running their organizations with less. Employee development is not exempt from these cut backs and in fact, insuring that our workforce is performing at their optimum potential is more important now than at any other time. So where are today’s training and development professionals turning to for guidance?
At our upcoming webinar here at ASTD, we will be speaking with Halelly Azulay, author of “Employee Development on a Shoestring”. Halelly will be covering how to effectively execute non-training ideas for developing employees while staying within a budget. Halelly will offer specific implementation techniques and guidelines to help busy managers develop their workforce in a way that is tailored to each employee’s strengths, development needs, and constraint. We will be tweeting live so be sure to follow us at @ASTDhumancapital
