Fostering workforce mobility is the secret to attracting and retaining top talent while containing burgeoning labour costs, according to a new report from the Human Capital Institute.
HR managers who believe that retention and hiring become less of an issue during an economic downturn are making a costly mistake, according to a Taleo white paper.
The downturn might be forcing organisations to contain costs, but employers that have seen it all before are continuing to invest in talent management and employee compensation, according to a new Mercer report.
A successful and sustainable recovery from the global financial crisis hinges on nothing less than a business revolution - and HR personnel must be the "foot soldiers", according to prominent management philosopher and quantum physicist Danah Zohar.
Employers that fail to promote employee health and wellbeing in conjunction with retention and attraction strategies can expect up to 93 per cent of their workers to be disengaged, according to new international research.
Employers that offer voluntary redundancies when forced to downsize are at risk of losing invaluable knowledge and experience and having their best talent turn into competition.
Executive bonuses will tumble and "people factors" come to the fore as leading employers emerge from the global financial crisis, according to a new book on organisational change.
Employers that fail to treat staff with compassion and tact during the economic crisis will see their talent flee when the economy turns - and it will turn within 12 months, says Team Leaders managing director, James Adonis.
