"There is something rare, something finer far, something much more scarce than ability. It's the ability to recognize ability."
Writer Elbert Hubbard penned those words to live by many years ago, but they still have legs today. Consider organizations facing tough business decisions.

It is important to ask every worker to give his or her all on the job. That means all of their creativity, innovation, inspiration and energy. Of course asking them to give 150 percent every day comes after finding, developing and retaining the people who can roll with the bumps. One crucial piece of advice is to count your blessings if you are not operating under a hiring freeze. But don't stop with hiring well!
In our next blog will supply suggestions on applicant tracking, employee assessments, how to survive tough times with lean HR, Pre Employment testing and applying best practices in talent acquisition.
In today’s economy, surviving the storm has become an organization’s main priority.

They can help navigate above, below or around obstacles while offering solutions that no one else has thought of to help calm everyone aboard.
Remember, nothing is more crucial than hiring competent people and helping them develop the skills necessary to help pilot the plane. Making sure your employees have the talent, skill and knowledge to make it through the storm is more important than ever.
