Recession aftermath skills for managers cited as main priority for HR

Nearly seven in 10 HR professionals have identified a "huge need" to ensure managers have the skills to manage the aftermath of the recession, according to a study done by Henley Business School. The survey report said that the HR professionals suggest they feel the majority of major change, provoked by the wider economic conditions, has happened, and they anticipate turning their attention to succession planning and attracting new talent into the business. However, they do see a huge need to ensure managers have the skills to manage the aftermath of that change [67% mentioning this as a priority].
