Overview
Description:
Organizations across the globe are facing a persistent and evolving challenge; finding, developing, and retaining the right talent. The gap between available skills and organizational needs continues to widen. At the same time, employee engagement has declined, and many organizations are experiencing a shift toward more transactional leadership styles that weaken connection and erode trust, and long-term performance deteriorates. We will examine the relationship between talent acquisition, talent retention, and the growing skills gap. These workforce challenges directly impact productivity, cost structures, innovation, and overall enterprise value. The objective is to position the organizations to compete effectively in a rapidly changing labor market.
