Acquiring and retaining talent has become a C-level agenda item for consumer goods and services companies for a variety of reasons. Few industries depend as much on talent to drive customer loyalty and, in turn, growth. And today’s sluggish global economy has opened possibilities for luring talent from other industries and geographies into the consumer goods fold. That’s the upside of the downturn. The downside: With financial strain impacting many companies, it is imperative for existing employees to contribute to the highest levels of performance possible.
The new generation of professionals hold new attitudes and behaviors about work itself. Motivating, rewarding and teaching this new breed require dramatic changes to traditional approaches while still balancing the reward and incentives for seasoned professionals who may not share similar attitudes.
Winning consumer goods and services companies will be those that not only successfully recruit valuable resources, but also multiply the power of their existing resources to gain a competitive edge.
