The return on this investment is impressive: our employee turnover is about a third of the industry average, and 70% of our customers say they are both likely to return and likely to recommend our brand.� McDougal will share first-hand accounts from her experiences working directly with hotel management teams on how to use employee feedback to most effectively impact business results � from improved customer loyalty to reduced employee turnover.

Here the Destination duo will drill deep into the entire talent management process, including learning how individual strengths, HR technology, and organizational culture and competencies support the development of human capital. �I believe in the pragmatic and practical application of human capital ideas, which can be simplified, implemented, and make a real impact on the function and our industry,� Mellwig said. �Attendees will walk away from this session with a comprehensive understanding of how various aspects of talent management integrate and can be leveraged to add real business value. This session will provide discussion and exercises that will enable HR practitioners to make intelligent, well thought out and informed decisions with respect to where and how to integrate their talent management processes.� Mellwig said he believes the No. 1 challenge facing HR executives today to be the industry�s ability to source, qualify, and secure qualified labor to meet the staffing and strategic needs of complex businesses.
