9. Time to act. Excuses were
yesterday
Not a sexy Industry, so we can’t get anyone
It’s a culture of us and them
No time to invest in internships
Our industry is too unstable to hire extra people
We struggle to retain the best people
Gen Y don’t want to work for us, they’re different
Other sectors offers better salaries for local talent
Lumpy Profitable limits investment decisions to core activities, particularly people
