A bit of a special episode this week. As regular listeners will know, “Exceptional Talent” the book I’ve co-authored with Mervyn Dinnen has just been published. With so many of the themes covered in the book crossing over with those that get covered on the podcast I thought it would make sense to give you a deep dive into the book’s content. My guest this week to help me do this is, of course, my co-author Mervyn. Topics we discuss:     •    What is the book about and why did we write it     •    Our definition of Exceptional Talent and the Talent Journey     •    Getting Talent Attention     •    Recruitment and Marketing     •    Art vs Science in the reinvention of Assessment     •    Continuous Onboarding     •    HR as Talent Producers     •    Developing The Employee Experience     •    Engagement and Retention     •    The implications of more technology in the workplace You can buy the book here directly from Kogan Page and if you use discount code FHRET20 you’ll get 20% off.
