“Finding and keeping qualified people is the biggest challenge facing Corporate America.” -HR Director
The workplace is not what it used to be. People are staying past their prime; the corporate ladder has crumbled; college grads have job titles that sound like something out of a science fiction flick; and nobody talks on the phone anymore.
The global marketplace has become a myriad of different generations.
