Join us online on Thursday 12 June for an engaging expert session The Alliance:How to Manage Talent in the Networked Age designed for both founders and early stage investors. This mini expert session is led by Ben Casnocha co-founder and General Partner at Village Global VC and author of three books.
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. Through this session based on Ben's New York Times best selling book with Reid Hoffman, founder/chairman of LinkedIn, he will explain how to recruit, manage, and retain the entrepreneurial employees your business needs to succeed in the networked age.
You'll learn:
- The most important recruiting strategy that innovative companies use to attract their best employees.
- How 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 on LinkedIn and social media.
- How to develop an employee value proposition that resonates with millennials.
This is the management and business framework that will help your company generate Silicon Valley-style innovation from Aotearoa, New Zealand, delivered by one of the field's most engaging speakers.
This session will be 60 minutes online and recorded. Members are $25 + GST, non-members are $50 + GST.
