Why is employee engagement such a vital issue for business success?
Demand of people capital is greater than supply, so the war for talent is on. Today’s No 1 customer now needs to be our employees. With the aging population, the new independent “no job for life” Generation Y style employee and the mass exodus of senior leadership experience due to the retirement of the baby boomer generation, it has become vital to aggressively compete for the attraction, engagement and retention of top people talent. It has become essential for Human Resources to evolve from being an isolated, administrative and reactive cost centre to becoming a proactive and proven profit centre that is fully aligned with the top line business objectives of the organisation.
