Birkman, Stanton Chase and Starr Tincup began the composition of this report with quantitative research into businesses in both the U.S. and Canada and an analysis of underlying macroeconomic trends that are intensifying The War for Talent. The “Business Implications of the New Reality 2008” report offers information on how the New Reality affects growth and business objectives that will aid companies in facing the talent shortage and winning The War for Talent. At the same time, this research helps Birkman better understand its target market and solidifies its position as a thought leader.

Attracting, hiring and retaining employees with the right credentials, education and personality to function at a specific company is a challenge for North American HR professionals and business owners. These findings and others are discussed in the “Business Implications of the New Reality 2008” report. The key points revealed in the report are as follows:

•           Talent acquisition planning is sorely lacking—just 18 percent of respondents report having a plan implemented.

•           The New Reality affects all levels within organizations.

•           Identifying and developing leaders within organizations is as important as attracting new, top-flight talent.

•           Retention is a major challenge for 71 percent of respondents and their organizations.

•           Levels of awareness and concern are greater in Canada than in the U.S. Likewise, Canadian organizations report being more prepared for the New Reality than do those in the U.S.
