Updated 8/6/02 Training and Development (HR-TD) offers new class For managers and supervisors who want to interview for behaviors as well as technical skills and retain their employees, HR-TD is offering two workforce issues classes, "Talent Selection" and "Love 'em Or Lose 'em." The classes are open to anyone who supervises the work of others. This two-day class is offered on Oct. 9 and 10. The price for the combined classes is $600; however, one may take either class as a standalone option for just $300. Dani Fake of B.T. Novations teaches "Talent Selection," the first day of the course. The class focuses on the belief that it is easier for supervisors to identify technical excellence in potential job candidates than it is to quantify and identify excellence in the non-technical behaviors and characteristics necessary to ensure overall high performance. Managers and supervisors are coached to recognize and quantify traits within a behavior-based interview. Mindy Zaslov of Vengel-Lash Association is the instructor for "Love' Em or Lose 'Em," which provides supervisors with retention strategies they can implement. Supervisors participate in self-assessment and group activities to understand how their actions influence their employees' decisions to stay or leave. In the workshop, supervisors formulate strategies for retaining their key people and develop an action plan to implement their strategies. To register for the class, go to the Virtual Training Center from the Laboratory's home page by selecting Training/Learning in the lower left-hand corner. Next, select Leadership and then About People.
