During his closing remark, Rob Taiwo, the Managing Director of pcl., said: “Talent goes where talent wants, and employees have the freedom to choose where they work”. He further stated, “In an employee market, companies must offer attractive value propositions that meet the needs of their employees, such as improved compensation, remote work options, and psychologically safe work environments. If companies fail to prioritize employee well-being and job satisfaction, they risk losing top talent to organisations that do.”

Olawanle Morenikeji, Operations strategist pcl Talent management actions, said: “New actions in managing talents must speak to dynamism, the promotion of belongingness, inclusion, empathy, guts, constant and consistent communication and motivations. Any conceptualization that falls short of actions on the above is destined for failure in the new world of work.”
