Retooling HR

Recruit, Retain and Develop

by David Meyer

Professor John W. Boudreau details a remarkable method for recruiting, retaining and developing talent.

Professor John W. Boudreau – research director at the University of Southern California Business School – urges you to rethink how your human resources (HR) unit recruits, develops and retains crucial talent, that is, people. Boudreau advocates using metrics from the business side to evaluate how talent contributes to your firm and how your people’s needs vary under changing business conditions.
