WHAT: More than any other industry, financial services took enormous
hits in the last part of 2008 and the first half of 2009. The
downturn affected not only large Wall Street firms, but also
regional and community banks such as Zions Bancorporation, a
holding company that operates banks across ten western and
southwestern states. CHRO Connie Linardakis started buying
integrated Talent Management applications just two years ago to
consolidate and streamline practices across its decentralized
subsidiaries, especially in Training, Performance Management and
Succession Planning. The Talent Management platform helps
employees take accountability for their own development and
performance, and helps the company make fact-based decisions
around downsizing during this difficult period, as well as
retention of key talent for the better times ahead. Come learn
the value of talent management in good times and bad.
