Achieving An 'A-Player' Workforce

More and more employees are seeking benefits beyond monetary compensation -- such as career development, access to senior management, leadership opportunities and improved work/life balance. To build a world-class workforce, a company must make recruiting, selecting and retaining talent a top priority. An "A-player" workforce starts with recruiting the right people -- high-potential individuals that uphold a company's high standards of performance. Training employees is easier if you have been stringent in recruiting only top talent, and recruiting new talent is easier if you properly develop your current workforce. If done correctly, it is a great cycle of success. A strong commitment by a company to its employees cultivates "A-player" talent, which in turn attracts new talent.
