The New Reality 2008
How well does the leadership of your organization understand
what needs to be done to attract, assess and retain the
new generations of employees?
Again, the bell curve
demonstrates that there is
hope for attracting,
assessing and retaining the
new generations of
employees in this New
Reality.
Respondents from Canada reported that their leadership understands what needs to be
done to attract, assess and retain the new generations of employees more so than did
their counterparts in the U.S. Just a quarter of Canadian respondents reported that
the leadership in their organizations understands a little or not at all, compared to
almost a third of U.S. respondents (32 percent). Again, the bell curve shown in the
graph above demonstrates that there is hope for attracting, assessing and retaining
the new generations of employees in this New Reality.
More than half of all respondents (55 percent) reported that the CEOs of their
organizations are very or completely willing to embrace the strategies necessary to
compete.
However, respondents in Canada indicated that their CEOs are willing to do this more
so than did U.S. respondents. Sixty-one percent of Canadian respondents said their
CEOs are very or completely willing to embrace these necessary initiatives, compared
to just 53 percent of respondents in the U.S. Likewise, 18 percent of U.S. respondents
reported that their CEOs are a little or not at all willing to do so, compared to just 10
percent of their Canadian counterparts.
