Research Reports

Despite the pandemic and economic contraction of the past year, the talent war continues to rage, and CEOs want their human resource chiefs to spend more time finding, retaining and upskilling great employees, according to a new survey by Chief Executive Group and SHRM. But the survey, which polled 243 CEOS and 406 CHROs, also found CHROs wishing their CEOs spent more time thinking about DEI strategy.

A closer look at the findings suggests that while the differences between CEO and CHRO perspectives are fewer than their areas of agreement, there might be room for improvement around collaboration on talent strategy overall.
