There's an old Irish toast that goes, 'May you have food and raiment, a soft pillow for your head; may you be 40 years in heaven, before the devil knows you're dead.' Even if there is another bump along the way with the Global Economic Crisis; another downturn, a drop in share prices etc, the trend indicates that the recovery is on the way if not already started.
Smart business will gear up now for a return to prosperity. Talented individuals who would not normally be available are currently on the market and will be snapped up by those employers who have the foresight to plan their response to the recovery. Economists have a term for where one action speeds up a result that may have occurred naturally: the accelerator effect (not surprisingly!)
A business or organisation prepared to take a short term hit in costs will build much faster than one who just 'let's it happen', in the same way as I suggested previously to hang on to your talented, energetic staff through the recession.
Now is the time to cherry pick those Bright Young Things previously "shed" by your competitors!
