The latest labour market facts, figures and forecasts predict worrying trends for business, which traditional thinking around people management will not solve. 

Statistics show that businesses are already feeling a squeeze on talent. The British Chambers of Commerce say that recruitment & retention of people with the right skill set is the No 1 business issue for UK firms.

Those who seek to win the War for Talent require a mindset that recognises that it is skilled people who drive the success of an organisation, because the battle has never been so competitively fought as now.

With this in mind our War for Talent series is for Business and People Leaders, showcasing case studies, solutions and techniques for attracting, retaining talent and supporting employees to give their best performance. 

This is the third of the series Retaining Talent*: Retaining key employees is critical to the long-term health and success of your business. Our experts share their strategies for inspiring employees to give their best performance.
