As the job market picks up, there is a fear by employers of high turnover due to a lack of engagement with their staff. As a result, as the market settles, engagement of critical talent is a top concern for companies, according to new survey from Aon Hewitt.
In the past two years, retention levels have been at an all-time high, driven in large part by the 10% domestic unemployment rate. In the 1,328 person survey by the human resource consultancy, 31% of respondents voted top talent retention as their biggest issue coming out of the recession. The second biggest concern was business strategy execution (18%), followed by employee engagement (16%).
