Talent

Is your talent strategy fit for growth?

The gap between growth objectives and the talent to make it possible is having a very real impact on growth. For example, one in four CEOs in our 15th Annual Global CEO Survey say that talent constraints affected their ability to pursue a market opportunity and a third said it had affected their ability to innovate.

 

What does it mean for your business?

Do you have the information you need?

  • Companies are looking to get better data on the talent they have...
  • and identify the talent they need to fulfil business plans.
  • Are you planning for the next 3 months...or the next 3 years?

Getting strategic about talent:

  • The challenge for businesses is to make workforce planning part and parcel of business planning...
  • ...rather than just a way to carry out the strategy.
  • How are you making sure that HR and the business work closely together in planning and decision-making?

Workforce plans that are right for local markets:

  • Workforce plans tailored for unique market conditions can help businesses take into account things like high turnover or spiralling talent costs that can spell the difference between success and failure.
  • Having highly local workforce plans can also help to create sustainable talent strategies by putting a focus on local talent.
