Recruitment is a real emerging issue here. The perception is that no one wants to work at this level when they can be working at a DOT.COM and driving a porsche. I am not sure this perception is accurate but the notion is bandied about alot. Hence, this is the envirnoment we are in. I am not involved in this effort so can't report on it's merit or successes.
Recognition is also a big issue here.
There is an awareness at the management level that you do not want to institutionalize a recognition system that actually creates a divisive atmosphere. I am involved in this effort and can keep you posted.
