Winning the 'War for Talent' is Key Challenge in Growing Industry, Says New FMI Report
In a new twist on a familiar subject, FMI Corp. has for the first time broadened its traditional analysis of construction firm training practices to focus on the more critical challenge of talent development in a growing but worker-strapped industry.
The Denver-based management consulting firm’s report, issued in April, outlines how firms are faring in the “war for talent,” and how they can develop a more successful battle plan. “Is it possible to create and maintain a talent-focused culture while building employee commitment?” the researchers ask. “The answer is yes, but not without hard work, a clear vision and supporting strategies.”
