How to Attract Top Talent in Emerging Markets
Mahesh Ram featured in Diversity ExecutiveWhile the U.S. economy sputters, other economies around the world are surging — especially in emerging markets like South America and Asia. Economic opportunities, coupled with a shortage of skilled labor in these markets, have intensified the global war for talent. So, how can global companies create a competitive differentiator for themselves?
Significant career opportunities, better job titles and non-cash compensation are often more compelling than money alone to talented candidates in emerging markets. Companies that want to compete for — and retain — the best talent must offer the same commitment to them that they are asking from them. The companies building the most competitive global workforces during the next decade will make a solid, long-term investment in employee development.
