DG - Why multinationals struggle to manage talent

Dear All,

 

Please find reading for the day.

 

 

A survey shows a strong correlation between financial performance and best practices for managing talent globally.

 

Article at a glance:

Why multinationals struggle to manage talent

·         Global corporations are struggling to manage their talent effectively, new McKinsey research shows.

          A survey of some very well-known multinationals reveals barriers to achieving cultural diversity, to establishing globally consistent HR processes, and to                                            promoting mobility between countries.

·         The findings show a strong correlation between financial performance as measured by profit per employee and companies that achieved the best scores on a survey of their global-talent-management practices.
