Firms worried about talent exodus

Small business bosses are worried that they will lose important staff when the economy emerges from the recession, according to a survey by business advisory firm Deloitte.

The survey revealed that 65% of businesses are extremely worried about losing valued staff once the jobs market recovers and big firms start recruiting again.

Businesses are advised to make sure that they engage with their staff to ensure that they will not have a dearth of talent when the recession ends.

"As with previous recessions any upturn in the economy will unleash pent up demand by employees acting on their desire to move on. Companies really need to be thinking about this and seek to attract and engage those already within the organisation," said Eddie Barrett of Deloitte.
