Peter Drucker wrote about "attracting and holding knowledge workers in the next society".(3) Said Drucker: "Knowledge workers know when they can leave. They have both the mobility and confidence. This means they have to be treated and managed as volunteers...The first thing such people want to know is what the company is trying to do and where it is going. Next, they are interested in personal achievement and personal responsibility - which means they have to be put into the right job. Knowledge workers expect continuous learning and continuous training. Above all, they want respect…for the area of their knowledge".
Deloitte recently published a study on talent management strategy (4) and surveyed on top employees' expectation from their employers. The responses echo Drucker's earlier insight on managing talents to provide them with challenge and growth. The top three responses were: 1) interesting and challenging work, 2) open and two-way communication, 3) opportunity for growth and development. Monetary rewards came eighth.
