A Leading Solution for Coping with Talent Shortage

The world’s shortage of employable talent is an amplifying problem. A third of organizations report difficulties in filling positions with qualifiable candidates, especially for management roles and key positions.

With an ever-increasing difficulty to recruit externally and similarly challenging to internally appoint, many organizations consider career development as the primary management tool to retain talent and develop the right reserves for key positions. Yet, recognition of the challenge and proactive action do not always correlate. Only a few organizations have succeeded to build a program that optimally answers both the needs of the organization and those of the employee.

In Career Development: A Leading Solution for Coping with Talent Shortage, AKT presents the latest field data, and we describe the required steps to build a truly successful career development program.
