Session 7 Track 2: Empowerment: Developing and Retaining Writers Globally

Session Chair(s)

Dan  Benau, PhD

Director, Biomedical Writing Programs

During the great early 90s writer bolus, companies trained junior writers in house and lost them to enticements from other firms. As these writers age out through retirement, companies are again faced with the expense of training and developing new and less experienced hires. This session will describe thoughts on best practices for maximizing return on this investment.

Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
  • Differentiate between training and developing junior writers
  • Appraise development methods that will help retain newly developing talent
  • Plan for maintaining organizational quality through experiential learning and mentoring
