Evergreen Talent: A Guide to Hiring and Cultivating a Sustainable Workforce

Find, nurture, and keep the employees who deliver year after year: “Filled with practical ideas and tips to win the war for talent.” —Sandy Rezendes, Head of Strategic Onboarding, Citizens Bank Finding the right talent is hard. Finding the right talent that will stay is even harder. No matter what the current labor market may be, Evergreen Talent shows you how to attract, find, and keep employees for the long term. What many leaders fail to understand is that you can’t simply transplant a competitor’s talent strategy and achieve the same results—just as you can’t take plants suited to a warm climate and expect them to thrive in chillier locales. But a company that takes the time to examine its own environment, select talent accordingly, and nurture its people will stand tall, regardless of economic conditions. In Evergreen Talent, Roberta Matuson, aka the Talent Maximizer, challenges leaders to think differently about their approach to growing a sustainable workforce—one that will regenerate regularly, with minimal maintenance. The book is filled with pragmatic advice, case studies, and best practices from companies that have done this successfully. Also included are tools to help assess your workplace environment—and populate your organization with talent that will continue to grow, thrive, and enrich the company with the fruits of their labor year after year.
