A perfect opportunity for your HR Manager and his or her department to attend!

Michael Hoseus reveals how Toyota selects, develops, and motivates its people to become committed to building high-quality products. This workshop examines the "human systems" that Toyota has put in place to instill its founding principles of trust, mutual prosperity, and excellence in its plants, dealerships, and offices around the world.

Beginning with a look at the evolution of the Toyota culture and why its people are the heart and soul of the Toyota Way, the presenter explains the company's four-stage process for building and keeping quality people: Attract, Develop, Engage, and Inspire. Drawing upon numerous examples from Hoseus' insider access as a Toyota manager, this workshop will provide the tools needed to:

• Find competent, able and willing employees

  • Determine competencies for key positions
  • Utilize behavior based assessments and interviewing
• Train and socialize your people as you hire them
