Driving your talent agenda through intelligent data

Aon and cut-e employee engagement and assessment experts are delighted to present a series of insightful events for HR Directors who are looking to improve business results and their employee experience along the whole lifecycle.

Great organisations require extraordinary talent. Those great organisations understand the importance of assessing candidates on their openness to being engaged and their potential for success. To be great, organisations need to think holistically about assessing and selecting talent, engaging that talent, and nurturing them with exceptional leadership.

Join us in a free seminar in a chosen location in Europe or in a webinar to hear and discuss why successful organisations are looking for candidates "wired for engagement". Learn what does it mean to be "certified for success".

Our experts will explore:

How organisations can quantify potential for success and support fact-based decisions.
Use intelligent data to increase performance, reduce attrition, achieve better organisational fit, increase engagement and drive the talent agenda.
Best practice on how organisations can sucessfully link assessment and engagement.
