The current economic climate dictates that it is now an employers market, however what will happen when the economic crisis we currently find ourselves in subsides? Are you confident that your talented employees will remain with your organisation? Or do you believe you need to act now to ensure your talent is retained in the future? It is important to develop strategies for ensuring your key talent are engaged, motivated and ultimately committed to your organisation and its objectives, regardless of how green the grass may appear on the other side.
Effective leaders can be an extremely powerful factor in the engagement and retention of employees and indeed if effective leadership is present in an organisation then the negative impact of other factors such as perceived poor pay or limited work-life balance is reduced (Financial Times Top 100 Companies, 2008). So what are the characteristics of an effective leader in the current climate? HDAís current survey seeks to answer this question.
In order to go some way towards developing a better understanding as to what makes a successful leader, HDA are currently undertaking our Leadership Survey; the results of which we hope will provide an insight into current perceptions as to what makes an effective leader from the perspective of leaders themselves, staff members at all levels and HR professionals.

The results will be published in October 2009.
