Executive Summary Survey Overview
This section will look at areas that have shown moderate strength but continue to be areas of focus due to unmet needs or future opportunities and challenges as reported by survey respondents.
AREAS OF CONTINUED FOCUS
Recruitment Time Employers indicate that while they are generally able to find qualified candidates for positions, few are able to recruit in a timely manner. Only 21% say they can recruit candidates in a reasonable time.
Employee Development Strategies Employee Development Strategies: While nearly 70% of employers say they offer internal training programs for their workforce; nearly half of those indicate that the decision on what skills to train are subjectively decided by their manager. While this approach can be successful, it has been shown to be less effective than a skill gap analysis or use of data to determine future skill needs of the organization.
Benefits to Recruit and Retain When asked what benefits (outside of pay) companies provided to employees that helped retain their top talent; health insurance was the top item at (34%) of companies responding. Organizational culture ranked second in importance (25%) and highlights a potential low-cost option to recruit and retain top talent.
