This is achieved by combining two basic aspects of team building.

On the other hand, the creation of work contexts in which the well-being and inclusion of workers is stimulated, and that make it easier for them to develop their talents and choose the company of which they are part as a place in which to continue growing professionally and personally. .
In this way, the Master in Talent Selection and Management is designed to train both in the gateway processes and in the dynamics of adaptation and renewal of the organizational context so that those who contribute to the company choose to continue being part of it.
Thus, in its teaching plan we find topics such as the dynamics of leadership development, the use of different personnel selection interviews and other selection tools such as the Assessment Center, conflict management, the creation of internal communication plans, the use of the different types of incentives, and many more.
The development of new technologies has allowed us to develop useful tools both in the evaluation and selection of workers and in training and personal development initiatives.
Beyond offering techniques, strategies and tools to attract and enhance talent and keep it functioning in work teams, the flexibility of new digital environments allows the creation of methods to adapt to very specific goals adapted to each company, whether exploring massive quantities of data through Big Data, using Machine Learning to create programs adapted to the worker’s motivations and goals, etc.
