2009 : Never a better time to reexamine your approach to talent | By Kenneth R. Greger

In a rocky economy, smart strategies for attracting and retaining talent can position your organization for a speedy recovery. KENNETH R. GREGER, CEO & Managing Director at executive search firm GREGER/PETERSON ASSOCIATES, Inc., tells us how important it is to focus on these vital policies, especially during a recessionary period.
