Over 60% of CEOs say improving recruitment and retention of top talent is a major business objective

As baby boomers exit the workforce in greater numbers, you may be concerned about the readiness of new talent to replace them. In some cases, companies have found that it can take 2 or 3 new people to do the job of a key staff member who leaves. Additionally, replacement team members may not have the key competencies, abilities, or necessary commitment to do the job you need done. Companies that contract for talent often don’t do a good, much less great, job of scoping what they need from their contractors in terms of performance and deliverables. Any of these will result in a sub-optimal talent situation. These conditions will affect your business performance.
