<strong>Columbia, MD (April 10, 2009)</strong> – Avilar is proud to introduce a new series of live, web-based workshops focused on helping organizational leaders solve critical talent management challenges using a competency-based approach. From succession planning to performance improvement to aligning workforces with organizational goals, competency management provides a solid approach to human capital management. <br />
<br />
Avilar understands that travel budgets are being tightened or frozen altogether. That’s why we’ve adapted the content from our live, in-person Full Day Workshops into shorter, web-based workshops. These WebShops provide valuable insights and training to individuals and organizations who are interested in learning how to implement a successful competency management program.<br />
<br />
WebShops are conducted with web-conferencing software so that attendees can view live presentations and receive immediate answers to their specific questions. Since each WebShop is scheduled for a single organization, attendees get answers and advice relevant to their organization’s specific talent management challenges.<br />
<br />
WebShop Catalog<br />
<ul>
<li> Competency Management 101: Basics for Beginners</li>
<li> Developing a Competency Model that Works for your Organization</li>
<li> Best Practices in Skills Assessments</li>
<li> Best Practices in Development Planning</li>
<li> Creating Two-way Communication Pathways with All Your Stakeholders</li>
</ul>
Each WebShop covers a topic which is addressed in greater detail during one of Avilar’s in-person, Full Day Workshops. If you are unable to attend a Full Day Workshop, these WebShops are a great alternative. Competency Management WebShops last 1 hour and can be attended by up to 8 people from a single organization.<br />
