Description

Dr Mark Bussin together with world-class experts who are thought leaders and highly regarded by their peers and clients answered the question  – “Who can say they find it easy to attract top talent, and once they are in the organisation, pay them fairly, and are able to retain them relatively easily?”

The global pool of highly skilled employees is in great demand, and those with both critical skills and experience come at a hefty price. The million dollar question is whether money alone is enough to secure the best talent in the market.

In an ever-changing and highly competitive world driven by incentives, the remuneration and management of key skills and talent is an absolute imperative. This imperative is exacerbated by the dramatic shortage of quality human capital and key skills, as well as the social desirables and economic objectives that organisations have set out for themselves. Dr Bussin’s Remuneration and Talent Management provides a thorough and practical perspective on the subject. It outlines how best to manage the acute tension between attracting and retaining talent, and how best to pay for it, given the financial pressures faced by an organisation. This book will prove to be an essential and indispensable tool for any manager of human capital!
