Managing high potentials and top talent in the current economic climate

   
     
  

 

We are seeing a lot of interest in high potential employees (HiPos) and top talent in the current climate – how to secure their motivation and engagement to support business recovery and reduce vulnerability to poaching in the upturn.
 
Research conducted by Boston Consulting Group in early 2009 indicated that hiring key staff from competitors was the most successful action taken in strengthening employee commitment in the previous recession. Obviously, organisations do not want to be on the receiving end of this and many are reviewing their strategies for managing top talent, HiPos and other key staff – including what, if any, specific reward tools should be deployed for these groups.
 
This very brief pulse survey seeks to gather information on current and changing practices in the management of HiPos and top talent, and to what extent reward has a valid role to play here.
 
In return for your participation we will send you a free summary report of the results. As always, the confidentiality of all individual responses is assured and our analysis will be at an aggregate sample level only. This survey is now closed - please contact Mike Curtis, mike@qcg.co.uk, for further information.
