Thirty-one percent of respondents cited their organization’s lack of high-potential leaders, while 23% indicated a shortage of talent at all levels.
Right Management surveyed senior executives at more than 600 firms across the U.S. representing government, non-profit, public and private organizations.
Survey respondents were asked what they expect to be their organization's most pressing HR challenge in 2012:
Latest Year ago"After three years of organizational contraction and less internal investment, companies are taking a hard look at their onboard talent and aren't pleased with what they find," said Michael Haid, senior vice president of talent management for Right Management. "Lean times make it hard for organizations seeking to recruit, retain or develop future leaders. And they're keenly aware of the tough competitive environment they're in and the need to hold onto and build leadership."
Lack of high-potential leaders in the organization
31% 30%
Low engagement and lagging productivity
26% 22%
Shortage of talent at all levels
23% 18%
Defection of top talent to other organizations
19% 30%
Defection of top talent is also a ranking concern of many employers, observed Haid. "In fact, for nearly one-in-five of our respondents it's the main worry…losing strong performers to other companies which may be enticing to individuals who may feel stifled with their present employer. This is the kind of concern that HR people lose sleep over."
