Attracting Talent Still Number One with CFO’s
Written by Tedd Long on Wednesday, January 7 2009
According to a recent survey conducted by CFO Magazine and Duke University, we can expect our historic recession to last another year; while earnings, capital spending, and employment are expected to drop in 2009. I must say this part of the survey sounded very “same old – same old”. What surprised me was that the group of CFOs concluded that the top internal company-specific concern is none other than attracting and training employees! Wow, the worst financial crisis we’ve seen in decades and CFOs are STILL recognizing the need for talent management. I think we’re on the right track!
We’re finally getting through to them! Or maybe they are trying to find something that they can still impact since everything else is so crazy right now!
Sounds about right over here, Ted.
