Media & Consumer Technology: Five Principles of Effective Talent Management

Profitable growth leaders in media and consumer technology spend 25% less on sales turnover. How are these best-in-class organizations crafting and executing a cohesive commercial talent management strategy?

Alexander Group recently surveyed 250+ commercial leaders in media and consumer technology to gain their insights on the best practices for developing a talent management strategy that truly brings a competitive advantage.

The report, Five Principles for Effective Talent Management in Media & Consumer Technology, is now available. Highlights include:

  • Companies that invest in employee engagement programs achieve higher customer experience ratings.
  • 35% of media account executives are hired internally, either through promotions or functional shifts.
  • 50% of media companies source market data to inform pay levels at least annually; those that do are better able to use pay as a lever for acquiring high-performing talent.
  • Firms that measure employee skills and competencies on a quarterly basis realize a ~20% reduction in employee attrition due to insufficient training.
  • Compensation is the #1 reason candidates accept hiring offers and is also the top reason employees resign; the dollar amount, however, is not the only component that matters.
