Only one thing really differentiates your business from your competitor: your people. Do you have the right talent in the right place at the right time? It's no longer enough to have a 'workforce': you need a high-impact Talent Force. The authors first identify the massive social, cultural, and economic shifts that are transforming hiring as we know it. We are a smaller, closer, and more competitive world, as Baby Boomers are retiring in the US, India is flourishing due to outsourcing and educational development, and China is a strong new economic force. Add to that the fact that today's best people have radically new expectations and approaches to work; this book reveals what they want and how to meet those needs while building your business. Learn how to develop and implement a worldclass talent plan that aligns with business objectives, and define metrics to track and optimize success. Discover how candidates are using technology to evaluate new opportunities, benchmark compensation, and create new back-channels of communication about worklife. Maximize these new technologies to grow Talent Force, tap into new sources of competitive intelligence and stay ahead of the pack.

This discounted ebundle includes: Legacies, Darknesses, Scepters Millennia ago, a magical disaster caused the fall of a great worldwide civilization, the end of a golden age. New civilizations have fought their way up from the ancient destruction and chaos, knowing little of the lost world that preceded them or the details of its fall. Corus today is a world of contending countries, of humans, but also of strange animals and supernatural creatures. It is a place of magical powers, and of a few people who are talented enough to use them. Legacies — Alusius is drafted into the local Militia to fight against the invading slave armies of The Matrial, an immortal ruler in a nearby land. If the evil surrounding The Matrial is not brought to an end, the world as he knows it could very well end. Darknesses — Captain Alusius faces new challenges, both military and magical. A would-be conqueror has revived sorcerous creatures of legend to assist in his crusade to reunite the continent under his rule. Alucius's Talent is the only hope against this foe, or even survival. Scepters — Alusius must quell a strange religiously-inspired rebellion and then find a way to destroy the powerful weapons of ancient design. When a different, covert enemy threatens, only the timely assistance of the ancient Soarers, and the addition of his wife Wendra's Talent, gives him any hope of success. Other series by L. E.
