Most companies in our industry report they believe in training their people. They may have training facilities for employees and customers to use. Perhaps they even have one or more people on staff driving training and development initiatives. Still, others might assign new hires a few eLearning courses. Those companies are off to a great start!
But are those efforts enough to help our individual companies — and industry as a whole — address the upcoming talent drain we’re seeing on the horizon? The Human Capital ISAT team raised awareness to the ASA Board of Directors at its meeting in February about the accelerated number of retirements our industry faces. There is a huge need to find, select, onboard, develop and retain the talent required to keep us relevant and thriving in the coming years.
