Dr. David DeLong Speaking Topics
With 50% of college grads working in jobs that don’t require a college degree, it’s more critical than ever to understand what works and what doesn’t in today’s job market. Learn six keys to landing a good job faster in the post-recession economy.
The U.S. faces a paradoxical crisis. More than 80% of companies report they can’t find the skilled employees needed to drive grow, while 50% of today’s college grads are underemployed. This talk shows how innovative solutions can address both problems simultaneously.
Top executives can no longer be complacent when it comes to recruiting, developing and retaining high potential employees and future leaders. This talk shows how to prioritize talent-related risks, identify the seven talent problems that kill profits, and how to accelerate knowledge transfer in the multigenerational workplace.
Millions of Baby Boomers, who are healthier than previous generations, want and need to work longer. One survey before the recent recession reported 77% of today’s workers expect to work for pay even after they retire. But beyond the slow economy there are seven false assumptions that keep older job seekers unemployed. Based on 50 interviews with leading experts, this talk shows everyone who is likely to stay in the workforce longer than their parents how to succeed in the new market for talent. Participants will leave knowing:
- How to avoid seven mistakes that keep boomers unemployeed
- Five specific steps that promise a more effective job search strategy
- What organizations must do to maximize the performance of a veteran talent pool
More Baby Boomer retirements and onboarding of new hires greatly increases the organizational costs of lower productivity, lost knowledge, and ineffective promotions. This presentation teaches managers how to reduce the risks of poor transitions, disillusioned young employees, and critical capability loss as many organizations go through seismic shifts in the make up of their workforce. Specific tools and techniques introduced will include:
- Using the Knowledge Silo Matrix to prioritize talent-related risks
- Creating a skill development plan to accelerate knowledge transfer
- Using culture diagnostics to identify barriers to knowledge sharing
- Tricks to immediately improve the mentoring capabilities of your staff
