Retaining
Top Talent
As we seem to be slowly moving
out of this very serious economic recession, the issue of attracting and
retaining top talent is moving up our list of Human Resources issues
facing our organizations. Perhaps cutbacks have created the need to do more with less.
Maybe you have lost talented people to competitors. Our own research
shows that there is a huge population of employees who have been afraid
to make an employment change the past couple of years who are primed and
ready for new opportunities.
Ten thousand people are turning age 65 every day beginning in 2011 as the
first Baby Boomers move more and more towards retirement or
semi-retirement and will be leaving the workforce. We know we must
compete for talented employees. Corporations that attract and retain the
best and the brightest employees achieve dominate market share and the
profits that go with it. Yet these intellectual assets can be difficult
to manage and they generally lack the loyalty to the employer that
previous generations demonstrated. Retaining top talent is the focus of
our April newsletter.
