TALENT KEY AT IBIS

摘要

Welcomed by conference director, David Lingham, IBIS delegates heard how during his time within the industry he had not seen as much change within the sector as he had in the past 12 months. TTi Global's Lori Blaker opened the conference with her session,'Making money - developing people'. Lori spoke of the challenges in attracting people and said,'We are all competing for talent from a small pool... You need to be an attractive organisation to work for.' 'Bodyshop of the future' was the title of Lesley Upham's session in which she offered a glimpse of a large scale project currently underway at Thatcham Research. Using Kodak as an example of the necessity for change, Lesley highlighted how globalisation, societal, environmental and safety influences, repair challenges and commercial pressures will impact on the bodyshop sector in the future.
