While the recession continues and survival is the overarching issue for many organizations, the central issue remains: Will your organization be ready when the economy improves? The answer can be found in your strategic and operations plans, in your talent management activities, and in the alignment between the two.

Let's face it: Top performers usually have options, regardless of the economy. Even if you're in hard-core survival mode, you must continue to provide your work force—particularly your top talent—with the necessary incentives to stay committed and focused.

Join us on April 16 for an in-depth audio conference all about retention and engagement strategies that will serve your organization well in any financial climate. Our experts—two experienced HR-management consultants—will cover:

• Global employment trends that could affect your retention and engagement strategies
• What your organization's strategic mission and objectives have to do with identifying and cultivating your human capital assets
• How to realign your positions with your business needs and your activities—such as researching the competition's salaries and structure—with your organization's overall strategic plan
• How to measure the global value of your workforce, no matter what the economy—the quality-of-hire metrics that count
• How to discern who you'll keep and who will go, including the importance of being able to recognize workers' alignment with your overall mission
• How to draft a retention strategy that ensures that essential, mission-oriented employees don't jump ship
• Proactive ways to use exit-interview data, employee-engagement surveys, and creative talent-management solutions as a means for achieving your retention and engagement goals
• The importance of HR business acumen and how to establish viable retention metrics that align with management's end game
