The economy is booming, the unemployment rate is lower than ever before, we are becoming more mobile, the labour markets are more transparent and more global, the values are shifting and the demographic change can no longer be averted. At the same time products are becoming more interchangeable and people with special abilities and creative ideas are becoming an increasingly important sucess factor. The economy is in transition. But where does this change lead to?

All these factors cause that companies are struggling to find employees and need to change their corportate culture. Especially for skilled employees and executives the competition is becoming more and more important and tougher. The balance of the power in the labour market has changed. While companies could choose their employees in the past, employees can now choose which company they want to work for. Companies must adapt to these new conditions and present themselves as an attractive employer. To achieve this, small measures such as employee benefits are no longer sufficient, but the entire corporate culture must be questioned and reorientated.
