What really differentiates your business from your competitors? While it may be product, technology, strategy, alliances, marketing and sales, ultimately it is the people who manage and implement in those areas who are your true differentiator. A company is only as good as the people who generate ideas, decide which ideas to pursue, and make them a reality.But in today’s tight labor market, attracting and retaining top talent can seem like an impossible quest. With baby boomers retiring, Gen Ys still in need of hands-on experience, talent “churn” and a more mobile workforce, companies need to move beyond the HR practices of the past. A recent report by the Economist Intelligence Unit identifies difficulties in attracting and retaining talent as among the top risks that business leaders will face over the next three years.
What strategies work and which ones just cost money and waste time? What skills are critical in a work force and where can you find and hire the people who possess those skills? What do you need to do to develop a best-in-class talent plan that aligns with business objectives? How do you keep your stars from jumping ship when recruiters come calling?
The participants in this roundtable discussion will discuss these questions and others as they help you thrive in the global talent marketplace.
