Contingency Planning to Replace Top Performers
By Jeremy Miller, LEAPJob

Business leaders have well defined plans for developing their corporate culture and growing their people assets. Yet it is just as important to develop a strategy for replacing key talent.

Since 2001, it has been an employer's market. Business leaders have learned to do more with less by focusing on top performers who can grow the business.

Hello everyone. Bringing back a topic opened up by Rolando a couple of months ago. Great holiday reading.

As 2006 comes to a close, one can't help but to reflect on those funny moments that we chalk up to the lighter side of recruitment. Popular media loves "the best of" or "top 10 lists" to ring in the New Year. As recruitment professionals, I suggest we play along. Those of us whom have been around a while, have most likely seen some strange job seeker or client behaviour that we can share in this forum. Let's keep this fun, so I suggest you don't name names or share too much detail. Happy holidays...Enjoy!
