Workforce changes impacting accounting and finance recruitment, retention efforts

Changes in the way people work have created new challenges for organizations and a realignment in the ways they attract and retain accounting and finance employees.

In a recent webcast poll conducted by Deloitte’s Center for Controllership, 82.4 percent of public companies reported accounting and finance talent retention issues over the past 12 months. Private companies have also been impacted but less so, with 68.9 percent reporting retention struggles.

The poll aggregated the views of more than 1,200 public and private company hiring manager participants.
