Jobs are plentiful but talent is short.
And companies are becoming more and more aggressive as they fight for their share of the global talent pie. CEOs are now asking us to help them invest their people dollars in a way that measurably improves business results and ensures the company will be a best employer, says Ed Gubman, managing consultant at Hewitt Associates. In theory, companies spend their annual people dollars in many cases billions of dollars to make their firms attractive to the talent they need. But very few have deliberately aligned their compensation, hiring, orientation, training, health care, and retirement programs to achieve this goal. There s no magic bullet, no gimmick, to becoming an employer of choice.
