I am catching up on my reading pile ( so the document referenced below is a month old), but the market outlook briefing from towers watson for May has a great analysis of the correlation between unemployment and vacancy rates. Which seems to be a strong indicator of healthy growth.
So why put this in a HR blog? SHRM and CIPD continue to encourage HR professionals to increase our business acumen, which is integral to HR strategy. Some things to consider:
1. How does market movement affect your pension liabilities
2. What are the 401k balances looking like, and what type of funds? Specific to the above... A tactical question would be, how many of your funds have REITs?
3. Could a market improvement increase your turnover and retirement numbers?
