store in the world of talent for the rest of the year?
It’s a good question. With so many workforce disruptions, companies must constantly reassess ways to hire and keep their talent. That includes, as the following stories will show, finding new groups of people to consider bringing
on, such as those well past the normal retirement age. It also includes treating employees differently, by teaching managers how to break bad news so their teams don’t run for the exits—or not punishing employees for being courageous. It’s a new world, and in good times or bad, no smart firm is taking talent
for granted.

layoffs, low salary raises.
