The reality is… your talent pool is actually an ocean.
Two thirds of US workers want to move into a new role – and more than half hope it’s at their current company. When companies invest in their people, their employees and their business both benefit.
The only way to manage this transformational period of time is to build new careers and career pathways for people inside the company. You cannot hire your way out of the problem you’re in. You can’t fire your way out of the problem either."

Manifesto video
To grow your business in this labor market, you must grow your people.
