Editor's Notes
Let’s start with some interesting data about employees. According to the data, 7 out of 10 respondents were open to new job opportunities. 20% were actively looking. And 50% were what we would call “passive candidates” – open to a change, perhaps looking around a bit, but not actively pursuing a job change.While this isn’t particularly surprising given the economy of late, it does suggest an overall weakness in the morale and engagement of the UK workforce.2011 Employee Engagement Report, 2011. http://www.blessingwhite.com/content/reports/BlessingWhite_2011_EE_Report.pdf

On learning more about talent – two obvious comments to make: better profiles means better matching for job openings which means less turnover of top talent and it means greater recognition and affirmation of talent which means less turnover.On connecting individuals – peer relationships creates more supported work environment which reduces turnover and it can spark innovation and improve organizational resilience (by virtue of increased network density) when times get tough.#1 Data above is also from Blessing White2011 Employee Engagement Report, 2011. http://www.blessingwhite.com/content/reports/BlessingWhite_2011_EE_Report.pdf
