Innovation and recruiting are also concerns for 2018
C-suite executives — including ones in the CEO, CFO and CHRO role — say attracting and retaining talented employees is their top concern for the coming year, according to a new survey.
CEOs feel effective, consistent communication at all levels will be the most important human capital strategy this year.
They also ranked encouraging an open, safe and transparent speak-up culture in which employees feel they’re able to be frank as one of the most crucial strategies for 2018.
Every size company, industry and region expressed a strong desire for establishing and maintaining a culture of innovation, naming it as their top innovation strategy, with the exception of Asia, which ranked creating a culture of innovation as its third most important innovation strategy.
