Insurance has fared slightly better in the area of recruiting promising talent than industries such as health care and manufacturing, which have struggled greatly in this area, according to Aon Consulting's 2008 Benefits & Talent Survey.
After surveying over 1,100 organizations nationwide across multiple industries, Aon Consulting found that 56 percent of employers are experiencing a leadership shortage that is currently affecting performance, and 31 percent expect to have such a shortage in the next one to four years.
The industries it found to be faring the worst in this respect include health care, with 62 percent reporting a shortage; professional services, with 58 percent; and manufacturing, with 57 percent.
