“HR in Hospitality” Panel to Reveal Proven Strategies for Successful Talent Management

San Francisco, CA, December 09, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Four of the nation’s top hospitality brands will gather at the 6th Annual National HR in Hospitality Conference & Expo, February 27 - 29, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco, to share how they have taken a unique approach to building their organizations’ talent bench. This highly anticipated session, “Re-Building the Bench: Strategies for Improving Your Organization’s Talent Depth,” will feature an expert panel of executives from Hilton, Patina Group, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, and Denihan Hospitality Group.

As a result of the hospitality industry’s high turnover rate, it’s vital that hospitality businesses remain competitive by being able to identify, train and retain top employees. The 2012 HR in Hospitality conference panel will disclose the essential elements of a successful strategy to building bench strength, creative ways for sourcing and pipeline development, best practices for developing top performers for potential needs, current technology solutions and other essential aspects of effective talent management for future success.

“If you had a training and development budget, the Great Recession surely decimated it over the past few years. Most employers are now confronted with the recession’s impact on the depth of their talent bench,” said JoAnne Kruse, HR in Hospitality Conference Chair. “This session will provide proven strategies used by Kimpton, Patina, Hilton and Denihan to build and manage their talents continuously and how attendees can effectively do the same, even during tough economic times.”

The National HR in Hospitality Conference, February 27 - 29, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco, is the nation’s only conference specifically for human resource management, law and labor relations in the hospitality industry. The 2012 event also includes a two-day Expo, the 3rd Annual Cornell University Executive Summit, multiple breakout sessions, ample networking opportunities and much more.
