Op-Ed: Why you need to develop and invest in your employees By: John Dame, Contributing Writer February 3, 2021

Even though the unemployment rate is much higher than it was before Covid-19 struck there is a new war for talent.
Companies I work with are finding it difficult, if not impossible, to fill roles at any level. Entry level talent is as difficult to recruit as PHDs. The best employees are receiving offers that are eye popping to leave their current positions and move to a new opportunity. Poaching is in full swing.
Companies need to up the ante to keep their best employees happy. You know that the cost is enormous to recruit, onboard and train new talent. Why not just work to keep the best talent as part of your team? One keyway to do this is to help them grow and learn.
