To secure young talent, many CFOs have had to adjust compensation and position accounting more thoughtfully to potential hires, says Nicholas Malone, CFO of E78 Partners.
“CFOs must balance maintaining a lean expense base and ensuring adequate resources to retain valuable employees,” says MBO Partners’ CFO Thomas Luttrell.
“Part of our job is to set the company up for future success,” says CFO Ken Jacobson. “And it’s not about the executive team, it’s about the company and how we make sure that it sustains itself even if we’re not here.”
Speakers at the CFO Leadership Council’s Spring conference talked about the most pressing concerns when it comes to talent—and what to do about them.
“A significant investment in data infrastructure, talent acquisition and change management will be the foundation of a successful implementation,” says Glenn Hopper of Eventus Advisory.
“Seizing opportunities and continuously learning on the job is crucial,” said SeekOps CFO Angela Smoller.
