The modern staffing climate and business environment combine to make firms feel as though hiring and developing staff will be a continual struggle. Yet there is no need to feel like a victim of forces beyond one's control. Instead, by stepping forward with a solid plan, it is possible to trim costs and improve the talent base.</p> <h4>Stephen Wise</h4> <h4><a href="http://www.IntegrationProfessionals.com">www.IntegrationProfessionals.com</a></h4>
