He said that, “2009 was a year of fighting to safeguard the workforce, and 2010 will have more balance between measures to maintain employment and measures to develop businesses’ human capital.” Based on this observation, he pointed at that, while “half the people surveyed still envision staffing cuts this year, the other half is planning new recruitment opportunities provided they match specific skills or to fill jobs that improve competitiveness.” Indeed, the report shows that proportion of companies foreseeing a reduction in their workforce remains high – 44% – but less than in last year’s survey – 71%. 20%, i.e. 8% more than last year, expect to add new jobs. Besides, among the measures envisaged for this post recession period, 52% are interested in hiring top talents again.
