The Human Capital Institute (http://www.humancapitalinstitute.org) (HCI), a global professional association and educator advancing the science of strategic talent management, along with Pinstripe (http://www.pinstripetalent.com), a rapidly-growing recruitment outsourcing company, announced that they are co-sponsoring an innovation tour focused on quality hiring and how human capital measurement principles can be used effectively in talent acquisition.
HCI's Innovation Tour, "Quality of Hire - The Illusive Business Metric," will bring together expert presenters from Pinstripe, PathPoint Consulting and Eastman Kodak to discuss how
quality hires can support organizational goals and in turn, improve bottom-line results. The event will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Central Time on Thursday, May 22, 2008 at
the St. Louis Marriott West.
"Leading employers are shifting their hire quality measurements from external influencers, like talent pools and market conditions, to a truer internal metric," said Amy Lewis, community
director for HCI's online Talent Acquisition learning track. "They are examining how adept their management and processes are at attracting and hiring top talent."
The breakfast event will feature presentations by and discussions between industry leaders including Van Latham, an industrial and organizational psychologist and practice leader for
Pathpoint Consulting; Elizabeth Petro, director, talent acquisition & strategy development-Global Shared Services for Eastman Kodak; Sue Marks, CEO of Pinstripe; and Jeff Struve,
senior vice president of Pinstripe. Attendees will also get an up-close look at how Eastman Kodak is evolving one of the world's great global consumer brands into one of the world's great
global employment brands.
"In today's volatile economy, organizations must focus on hiring and retaining talented employees to support overall business goals," said Sue Marks, CEO of Pinstripe. "Attracting key
contributors, and utilizing a talent management program to maximize and measure their contributions, takes an organization to the next level. We are pleased to be able to join HCI in
sharing this valuable knowledge with other business leaders."
The Pinstripe-sponsored HCI Innovation Tour is free with advance registration at www.humancapitalinstitute.org (http://www.humancapitalinstitute.org), and is recommended for director, vice-president and C-level executives in human capital, recruiting,
finance and operations.
