Competitive advantage depends less on what companies own and more on who they employ...

It’s true to say that business success is becoming less about having bigger and better strategies and more about having the talent to execute those strategies effectively.  Most businesses are looking for growth but the biggest barrier is people or lack of having the right people in place to support those plans.

High performing employees typically generate 3 times more revenue than average employees and there is intense competition to identify recruit and retain these individuals.  The hard truth is that in today’s market – competitive advantage depends less on  what companies own and more on who they employ – a company’s ability to identify skilled people, not only supports their goals for growth but also deprives the competition of the talent they need to compete – tough but true. 
As skilled labour becomes scarcer – so the cost of qualified employees increases – businesses simply cannot afford to make expensive mistakes.  As part of their recruitment offer to clients Hewett Recruitment can support and advise on employer branding, attraction and retention strategies and employee engagement – for a free consultation contact louise@hewett-recruitment.co.uk.
