Mercer's new Future of Talent Management Survey asked more than 700 employers in the US and EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) about their top talent concerns and priorities. We found that:

         Half rate talent management as a top priority today, but 78% expect it to be a top priority within the next three to five years.

      Almost all (96%) expect an increase in competition for the key talent their organizations need to succeed - 53% expect that increase to be significant.

         Following the economic downturn, more than seven in 10 plan to change key talent programs including leadership training, workforce training, employee engagement, recruiting, retention, rewards and performance management.
