In addition to being the top-ranked challenge of CEOs globally, Human Capital is closely linked to the next three top challenges – Customer Relationships, Innovation, and Operational Excellence – in that a talented, engaged, and properly motivated workforce is critical to success.

- strategic workforce planning, and
- talent management.
