 "CEO as chief talent officer")
There is an uptrend in the time spent by CEOs on talent initiatives, with 85 per cent of CEOs now spending more time on talent-related activities compared to 73 per cent in 2011, finds a Monster.com study.
The annual study 'CEO as Chief Talent Officer 2014' finds that 91 per cent of CEOs believe in direct participation in talent endeavours - in fact, 71 per cent of the CEOs are driving mentorship initiatives in their organisations. CEOs are now involving themselves not just with the strategy of hiring appropriate talent, but also with how the organisation grooms them.
The survey also revealed that a major theme for CEOs in the next 12 months will be to tap the rich pool of women and differently-abled talent. Additionally, 68 per cent reveal that they plan to spend more time in developing leaders and connecting with key talent. Thus, making 'talent' the single largest priority in a CEOs agenda in the months to come.
