Everyone must take responsibility for their own evolution. This is the challenge that coaches, managers, and leaders regularly face around the people who they lead.

In this first wave of benchmarking, HR had to leverage surveys and other data that was often self-reported, and therefore subject to bias. The data was also typically 24 months old–which was “good enough” at a time when commercial markets were more predictable and industries evolved more slowly.

Understanding talent acquisition vs. recruitment in 2020

PeopleStrategy

It’s hard to put a value on talent. While talent is technically a renewable resource (when an employee leaves, they can be replaced), there is no guarantee the new hire will be as strong a contributor to the organization (of course, they could bring even more to the table!). That is why most companies focus on retaining the employees they have. Still, employee turnover is unavoidable, especially in periods of low unemployment and when jobs are plentiful.
