Growing Your Own

摘要

When budgets are reduced, recession is upon us and employees hunker down in their current jobs and try not to be noticed in case they are 'rationalised', sensible organisations are more likely to also look to developing their in-house talent rather than just recruiting new people. A recent CIPD survey stated that 97% of the companies they surveyed (over 700) were developing their top talent. However, only 18% were looking with any dedicated enthusiasm at the rest of their workforce.We know that the demands on local government are constantly shifting, budgets reducing and customer expectations growing. This is nothing new. But a predicted outcome of the economic recession is that labour turnover slows down. With less chance to recruit new employees, but ever increasing demands, councils will have to invest more than ever in, their existing workforce.
