Right Fit Right Future – Build a Data Driven Hiring and Promotion Strategy

Hire smarter. Promote better. Develop stronger leaders.

Too many companies lose great people or promote the wrong ones because their hiring and development decisions rely on instinct, not insight. This webinar introduces LEAP’s Talent Optimisation Framework: a proven, evidence-based approach to selecting, supporting, and developing managers who stay, grow, and perform.

If you’re responsible for building the leadership pipeline in your organisation, this session is for you.
