Mona School of Business and Management (MSBM) is making its final preparations ahead of Thursday’s (April 20), talent management seminar themed, ‘The Talent Magnet: Attracting and Retaining High Potentials and High Performers‘. 

The seminar, being held in partnership with the Human Resource Management Association of Jamaica (HRMAJ), will be led by Hugh Scullion, a professor in organisational behaviour and human resource management at the United Kingdom-based University of Hull.

He is a global leader in International HRM and Global Talent Management, who has published nine leading books and over 200 publications, many in elite journals, such as the Academy of Management, the Journal of World Business and Human Resource Management Journal.

Professor Scullion is the co-founder and chair of the European Institute of Advanced Studies in Management (EIASM) Talent Management Workshop, the leading research forum in the field. Additionally, he has consulted widely with organisations in Europe and Asia (e.g. Rolls Royce, Boots, Telecom Malaysia ) and has wide experience internationally in executive education.

The term talent management was coined in the late 1990s as part of a McKinsey report on “the war for talent”.

Over the last quarter century, it has gradually emerged to encompass all those issues relating to attracting, developing, retaining and optimising on the performance of employees.  As a practice it has been embraced by leading edge organisations all over the world, including the Caribbean.

The seminar will cover a range of topics, including identifying and developing talent, creating a culture of excellence, fostering innovation and building a high-performing team. Attendees will have the opportunity to gain valuable insights and strategies from our presenter Professor Scullion and also have the chance to network with other professionals.
