How will I know if my action plan is working?

Reactive versus proactive hiring

The number of hires you make that are linked to the company's long-term strategy

Why this metric?

Making a higher share of proactive hiring decisions will set your company up for the future and put you on track to develop the skills you need.

How do I start tracking?

Look at your hires over the last six or 12 months and what share were made to meet immediate demand versus those that target skill sets you need to develop.
