Global snapshot of talent competitiveness
THE IMD WORLD TALENT RANKING (WTR) ASSESSES THE STATUS AND DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS NECESSARY FOR COMPANIES AND THE ECONOMY TO CREATE VALUE IN THE LONG TERM. ANALYZES A SET OF INDICATORS THAT MEASURE THE DEVELOPMENT, RETENTION AND ATTRACTION OF HIGHLY SKILLED NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LABOUR
The ranking is led by small European countries with developed market economies and notable talent attraction
