How to identify and nurture high potentials

Scaling up the structure of development programmes for high-potential employees starts with understanding their behaviour and motivation.

What are the most recommended assessment methodologies, leadership practices and talent management strategies in grooming high potentials?

Training & Development Asia, the region’s only dedicated learning & development conference for HR leaders and learning & development specialists, will set up discussions on how HR can ensure the development of a future leadership pipeline.

“HR practitioners and L&D specialists always stress the importance of cultivating the company’s next leaders,” said Aditi Sharma Kalra, regional editor of Human Resources magazine.

“Training & Development Asia 2016 will lay down systemic approaches which can help recognise and manage highly motivated individuals.”

Training & Development Asia 2016 is a two-day regional conference for HR managers and senior learning & development specialists which will take place in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore in June.

A case study will shed light on how to uncover employees’ aspirations and readiness when evaluating them for a new role in addition to their performance and potential.

To be presented by Sasidharan Muniandy, senior management for talent management at Scomi Energy Services, the case study will demonstrate how to tailor development plans to the specific needs of individuals and organisations. Muniandy will also discuss the different ways to monitor external incentives and internal motivators for high-potential performers.
