Is winning the war for the best talent worth the effort?
The McKinsey & construction employer report that gave this era its name—
The War for Talent—actually quantified and monetized the impact of hiring
better talent. It found that an “A” level performer is 50-100% more productive
than a “C” level one. With even the most rudimentary math, that means
50%-100% more revenue generated per construction salesperson, 50%-100% lower
costs per product produced or service delivered, and 50-100% higher
customer satisfaction scores. You pick the metric, but the business
case shows that winning the War for the Best Talent is definitely worth the effort.
