Business Services: Five Principles of Effective Talent Management
Profitable Growth leaders in the business services industries spend nearly 20% less on sales turnover and are significantly more likely to meet their revenue goals. How are these best-in-class organizations crafting and executing a cohesive commercial talent management strategy?
Alexander Group recently surveyed 250+ commercial leaders in business services to gain their insights on the best practices for developing a talent management strategy that truly brings a competitive advantage.
The report, Five Principles for Effective Talent Management in Business Services, is now available. Highlights include:
- Companies that invest in employee engagement programs achieve higher customer experience ratings.
- 1/3 of primary seller roles within business services are hired internally through promotions or functional shifts.
- Less than 50% of business services companies annually source market data to inform sales pay levels; however, those that do are better able to use pay as a lever for acquiring high-performing talent.
- Compensation is the #1 reason candidates accept hiring offers and is also the top reason employees resign; the dollar amount, however, is not the only component that matters.
