What CEOs say about employees and what they do

Most CEOs recognize the importance of their workforce, but many don’t take the actions required to acquire the best employees. At the heart of this issue lies the fact that recruitment is too often overlooked as being a strategic unit of any organisation.

“People are our most important asset.” “Our growth is dependent on the quality of our team.” We read such statements from CEOs on corporate websites, annual reports and newsletters, but how many believe it enough to have taken the actions required to ensure their company can attract these high quality people?
