SESSION: Zions Bancorp Uses Talent Management to Grow and Shrink the Workforce
WHO:
Paul Sparta, Chairman and CEO, Plateau Systems
Connie Linardakis, EVP and Chief HR Officer, Zions Bancorporation
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.
