Top Concerns of CEOs

A recent study by Ipsos Mendelsohn's "Business Elite 2008" revealed that 38% of top executives are concerned about attracting and keeping top talent. You may be saying to yourself that this doesn't make sense in light of today's economy. The reality is your people are probably looking over their shoulders, hoping not to be let go. Your best people may even be thinking about leaving. And, you’re likely thinking more and more about what to do with underperformers.

Now, more than ever is the time to cultivate your top talent and make sure they recognize they have a bright future in your organization. Plus, this may be the best time ever to find great talent.

This is the time to really take stock of your strategic plan – re-evaluate your goals, make sure your entire team understands the goals and the impact their contributions deliver. Now is the time to get your organization aligned to weather the current economic storm and come out the other side stronger than your competitors. That's why the top CEOs are concerned about attracting and keeping top talent.
