Authoria Shares Ingredients of Talent Success at FMI HR Training & Development Conference

Authoria, Inc. today announced its sponsorship of the Food Marketing Instituteís annual HR Training and Development Conference. The event will take place at the Hyatt Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota, September 9-11.

Todayís business leaders recognize that effective talent management has a direct and positive impact on corporate performance. This dynamic is especially apparent in the hyper-competitive supermarket industry, where the ability to deliver top-quality product and superior customer service requires high-quality employees. Supermarket HR executives must recruit people effectively, while cultivating those with high potential to fill key positions.

Authoria addresses these talent-management challenges, helping some of the largest national and regional supermarkets effectively manage their key talent. The companyís Integrated Talent Management suite delivers comprehensive functionality for every phase of talent management critical to a supermarketís success:

- Acquiring high-quality talent
- Compensating and retaining high-impact employees
- Aligning individual performance with store, region, and corporate goals
- Identifying and developing high-potential talent
- Engaging employees through effective communication

Unlike siloíd applications that focus on a single function, Authoriaís ITM solution empowers managers with access to all the information they need from a single, intuitive user interface. Tight integration among performance assessment, recruiting, employee development, and succession planning ensures that quality of hire can be assessed early, and high-potential candidates identified quickly, in order to fill critical leadership gaps.

Additionally, Authoria offers the benefits of the companyís deep talent-management expertise, and access to the best practices of its extensive customer base ñ including some of the largest supermarkets. Through Authoria Community, a collaborative online forum for Authoria customers, food retailers benefit from shared best practices and can benchmark results, while optimizing the value of their investments in technology and talent.
