“The top people concerns for senior business executives are: creating a high-performance culture (79%), leadership development (76%), talent management (76%), and training (63%). HR leaders have similar priorities: leadership development (83%), creating a high-performance culture (72%), and talent management (71%); however, they consider HR operating efficiency to be somewhat more critical than do their non-HR components.”
“On average, 29% of the surveyed companies already outsource recruitment, training, and payroll, whilst an additional 18% expect to outsource these and other HR activities in the next three to five years.”
“According to this year’s survey, senior business executives rate recruitment abroad over the next three to five years as 10% more valuable as a source of talent than do their HR counterparts. To respond to this emerging need, HR must find new ways to tap into overseas talent, both through recruiting abroad and more effective use of offshoring.”
