CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Best Practices, LLC, a
recognized world leader in benchmarking research, has launched an important
new study that will help U.S. companies identify effective tactics and
strategies for building world-class engineering talent development programs.
As baby boomers retire in increasing numbers, the loss of institutional
knowledge and talent in engineering is beginning to impact the industry. Thus,
acquiring, retaining and developing engineering talent is becoming a mission
critical process for many top-level companies across multiple industries.
To offset this loss of engineering expertise, companies must create
high-functioning talent development programs that can supply a growing pool of
engineers at top organizations.
The new study, Developing Engineering Talent to Meet Mission Critical
Organizational Needs, is open to human resources, talent management and
leadership development managers and executives at Fortune 500 companies, who
design, oversee or evaluate programs for developing engineering talent. If you
are an executive with these responsibilities, overseeing a group of engineers,
you can take part in this ground-breaking research at no charge through
October 17th, 2008, and receive research findings.
"Companies that participate in the study will be able to use the results
to compare their program effectiveness against a reliable set of new benchmark
metrics," said Research Manager Anna Buhr. "The study will also collect
executive insights that will help all participants identify practices they can
adopt to make their programs run more smoothly and with greater outcomes."
If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact: Anna Buhr
