Global economic uncertainty has reduced employee counts in companies around the world, leaving organizations in many cases resource limited. However, recent signs of recovery have companies reevaluating their talent strength for a more positive future. Our sustainability consulting finds the ‘recovery’ generation of highly effective organizations is creating a business sustainability culture to motivate and retain top eco-talent. ‘Eco’ or ‘green’ talent management is becoming increasingly necessary for many industries and is gradually becoming a general business sustainability best practice. As consumers seek out companies that can deliver new and innovative products, top talent is necessary to meet changing expectations.
