It is clear from experience, as well as the vast amounts of information available to employers that the demographics of the global workforce are changing foamposites for sale. Patterns of migration, issues of diversity and social or educational development are presenting employers the world over with an increasingly difficult and important challenge - where their talent will come from in the future. An advantage in the recruitment market In 2008 a large proportion of baby boomers are set to retire, and according to large consultancies like Deloitte and BearingPoint, there will be fewer graduates with the "right critical skills entering the market" who can act as "ready replacements" for those skilled and experienced employees leaving the market foamposites for sale. This ensures the war for talent continues to rage as companies compete for the right Human Capital asset to give them the advantage in their market. In a bid to win the war for talent, companies are increasingly developing more creative employer brands, talent acquisition strategies and retention plans foamposites for sale. They are looking at a broader spectrum of factors, other than just salary and security, to attract people into their business and to keep them there. Those entering the employment market are no longer looking for that job for life, nor are they necessarily motivated by pay alone foamposites for sale. This places factors like Corporate and Social Responsibility, flexible working, personal development and total reward much higher up on the agenda. Not bad for a McJob One high profile example of a corporation tackling their employer brand head-on is McDonalds, who rely on a steady supply of Human Capital to give their business and their brand life. After the term "McJob" appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary, being described as having low pay and poor prospects, McDonalds responded in 2006 with the challenging "Not bad for a McJob" campaign. The McDonalds fight-back campaign featured posters including examples of health policies, flexible working hours and prospects for promotion, with the objective of improving their public image as an employer of choice and ensuring their employees felt "McRespected" and "McValued". McDonalds represents an extreme example, but other companies across the world dedicate much time and resource to winning coveted places in top employer listings, such as the Sunday Times Top 100 Companies to Work For in the UK and the 50 Best Employers to work for in Canada. And, according to Sheffield University, its a case of "Who Cares Wins" in todays job market.
