HR Best Practices

The report is based in an online survey, receiving more than 5.000 responses from 109 countries.
The Four topics stand out as the most critical:
•             Managing talent
•             Improving leadership development ( increasing importance from last reports)
•             Employee engagement ( To be restored after  two years of difficulties linked to layoffs and other cutbacks)
•             Strategic workforce planning
But I thing that we must pay attention to the differences in HR practices when comparing the High performing companies to the Low performing ones ( taking into consideration revenue and profitability growth):
Performance management and rewards is the topic where the distance is more remarkable. Let's say that the best ones are seeking for the best ones, in a continuous process of improvement of the quality of the workforce.

Is it fear what retains a good employee in a bad company?
