Welcome to the Talent Economy a 21st-century economy characterized by unprecedented innovation, connectivity, disruption, and opportunity.
Unfortunately, the positive attributes of the Talent Economy have been largely overshadowed thus far by the continual decline of employee job satisfaction, employee turnover costing organizations billions of dollars, shrinking profitability, and the Boomer retirement wave.
The need to engage younger generations of talent is widespread and urgent. Our leadership is aging and the skills gap continues to grow. The impetus to close the widening disparity between talent- development practices and business impact has never been greater.
For too long, we've just assumed there is no other way. But clearly there is another way.
It's Talent Generation.
Drawing from documented workforce and talent-development research, as well as her own ongoing study of generational impacts, Sarah Sladek cites numerous examples of organizations that have been capable of engaging employees in this era of disruption what they did, why it worked, and how it's made a difference to the organizations outlook and bottom line.
She proves that it's possible to create an organization designed to engage talent, and she provides guidance to do it.
Her book equips organizations with the much-needed insights to make smart, confident, future-focused workforce decisions.
