Is The War For Talent Over?

from CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel · host tentwentytwo / Culture Partners

In today’s episode: No matter the economic conditions, the best workers will always have a job. Even as unemployment rises, companies should never let their guard down. Nobody is firing top talent; companies are going out of business, and their top talent are getting snatched up quickly. When companies have trouble retaining top talent, the problem is rarely the talent--it's the company's culture. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest news, unpack hot-button workplace trends, and bring you exclusive interviews with leaders who leverage culture to drive real business results. John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica every week to discuss the latest news in labor, employment, and workplace culture by asking each other the question: 'What Are You Paying Attention To Now?'
