The Caribbean Academy of Sciences (CAS) Regional Executive, is pleased to announce that it will be hosting another edition of the Guest Seminar Series, on August 02nd, 2024 at 3:00 PM (Trinidad and Tobago Time).
There will be a presentation from Ms. Yolande Hylton at UWI, Mona, Jamaica, and Hylton Insights, who will be speaking on Sprinting to Greatness: Talent Management Lessons from Athletics.
There has always been something intriguing about the lessons businesses can learn from sports. I dare to say there is something that HR can learn about talent management through the ambit of sport. Sprinting to Greatness: Talent Management Lessons from Athletics delves into the fascinating world of track and field to uncover valuable insights applicable to talent management in organizations. The term talent management has become increasingly popular, especially considering the changes in the Future of Work but is it being discussed in the Caribbean? This talk will draw parallels between the high-performance environment of athletics and the corporate world, from identifying talent (attraction), developing talent (coaching & training), managing performance (performance management), and developing a winning mindset and retention. The audience will get a fresh perspective on talent management through the lens of athletics.
