What impact is the economic downturn having on talent?

October 3, 2008 Julie Surycz Recession solutions, Talent 1 Comment

The past two weeks have been crazy. On its front page, The Guardian newspaper declared: “This was the week the world changed.

That is a huge statement to make and they are probably right. But what can you do about it? Well, we think a lot and believe your valuable input can make a difference.

financial crisisTomorrowToday is undertaking a series of global studies to understand the impact of the current credit crunch and economic downturn. The first study is investigating what can be done to get the most out of one of a company’s powerful resources – talented staff.

How are you being affected by the economic downturn?  What effect has this had on your motivation and productivity?  

We value your opinion and are interested in what you believe can be done during this economic downturn. This survey will only take 10 minutes.  You do not have to be in HR to participate in this survey – we are interested in the effect the downturn is having on everyone.  

Once we have analysed the results, we will share the research with you so you can benefit from it too.

Please follow the link to the survey -

    The young people will be hasitant to express themselves. they will feel as if they are not going to make in the real world environment. some will feel as if their talents will not get them where they want to be just like other countries. as a result, most young people will adopt another nationality, i.e. emigrate to other economic stable countries in the world.

    they will emigrate not wanting to, but because of being unsafe economicly, they will perceive this option of emigration. as a result we will have less possible leaders or ambassodors in the our country because of economic insecurity. they will also study more harder and be more careful in career decisions. they will want careers that will bring them more money other than choosing what they like to do. by the way, they will do what they don’t want to do in order to get where they want to be, and their talents will becoma a second option or just a hobby in their lives.

    cheers

You’re going to have to change your management style

I spend a large part of my year in conversation with managers working hard to try and understand today’s younger workforce. The pain they’re feeling is palpable. The evidence of change is overwhelming. Making the necessary changes, at times, seems impossible. The hope is that the challenges are being interrogated and slowly but surely acted [...]

A Radical Proposal for Executive Pay

A Radical Proposal for Executive Pay

Everyone agrees that something must be done about executive pay. One of the major contentious issues emerging out of the financial crisis is the way that senior executives and manager, especially in the financial industries, are remunerated. These days, executive pay often seems to be unrelated to the company’s performance, and in many [...]

The future of money
