After an extended period of growth and relative stability, the economic crisis forced many distributors—some for the first time—to make painful headcount reductions to stabilize and protect their businesses. For some distributors, this was their first time taking such action, and for many it highlighted gaps in their ability to target underperformers, identify high-potential employees, and align workforce-related decisions with their business strategy.
If they haven’t already, distributors must now focus on acquiring and building those skills that will differentiate them in today’s hypercompetitive environment.
ACTION POINT: Developing and leveraging the organization’s human capital must be a top priority.
