More results from the study conducted by Deloitte with Forbes Insights

Executives who participated in this survey believe that “developing leaders and succession planning” is currently both a top concern and a top talent priority. They also believe this will be the number one talent priority three years from now.

Companies self-described as “world-class” have a clear sense of the pressing talent issues three years from now and are more likely to make investments in creating career paths and challenging opportunities for employees (46% for “world-class” firms vs. 36% for all others), developing leaders and succession planning (48% vs. 36%), and recruiting hard-to-find skill sets (42% vs. 29%).

The area that was interesting to me was recruiting hard-to-find skill sets. In future blogs I will identify what some of these hard-to-find skill sets are.
