Talent management is growing quickly for a reason: the way we engage our employees in our businesses affects our bottom line. This month, we’ll hear from a variety of experts about how to fully engage your workforce.

To tackle this new challenge, recruiting has risen through the HR ranks to become the Talent Team, a key arm of the organization that strategizes with the C-Suite on long-term hiring plans, succession planning, and employer branding.

She had on a new outfit, left her apartment early, and was excited to get to work and learn everything she could about her new company.

The desk obviously not been cleaned well, as evidenced by the personal notes, candies and other items left by the previous occupant of what was now her chair. The person apparently had a thing for peppermints and not much use for pennies.
