Professional services businesses are dependent on access to top talent. In the current economic climate, executives must resist the temptation to stop hiring, or worse, plan layoffs. Lessons from the last economic disruption taught us that hiring back top talent can be difficult, if not impossible.
Technology plays an increasingly critical role in the ability to attract, retain, and enhance the skills of today's workforce. People evaluate and choose the positions they accept based, in part, on the tools that the organization employs. Purpose-built technology for professional services must play a lead role in a competitive business' tech stack – if they are to attract and keep top talent and foster a thriving business
