ICYMI: Building for Your Company’s Future Workforce Now - Enterprise Viewpoint “Ten years ago, I remember talking to the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. I asked if his organization had a five-year financial plan. Of course, they did—they were a publicly traded business. But when I asked if they had a five-year talent plan, he looked confused. Ironically, he had begun by saying that “people were their most important asset.” Payroll is the largest expense for most businesses, often 15-30%, and yet, most businesses don’t give much consideration to this need. They are often only worried about the next three months of hiring needs, instead of planning for their long-term future workforce. That’s a lot of money at risk that no one is thinking critically about.” ICYMI: Website created by Idaho man promises politics-free job posts - KATU 2 “Before he left the tech world of the Bay Area, CEO Andrew Crapuchettes says he gathered a lot of data about jobs, and he saw the employee shortage coming.
