Clearing The Hurdles To Recovery

The ongoing economic downturn has added to the woes of human resources executives and top leaders who continue to struggle with talent-related issues.

The third in a series of a five-part longitudinal study, this report titled ' Managing talent in a turbulent economy: Clearing the hurdles to recovery' tracks the way business leaders are shifting their talent priorities and strategies to meet the challenges of today's economy and how they are planning to clear the hurdles to economic recovery.

Some key findings from this survey include:

• For the first time in this longitudinal study, the number of executives who said the worst is yet to come declined, significantly, from 32 percent in March to 18 percent in May. At the same time, the group who believes the worst is behind us doubled to 16 percent from 8 percent in March and 6 percent in January
