Google HR chief on staffing talent — staffing quote of the week

March 31, 2015

“There’s an increasing spread of performance that’s observable,” Forbes quoted Lazlo Bock, Google’s head of people operations, as saying about the talent conversation change in the time he’s been at Google. “The most talented people on the planet have way more options than they used to – the global workforce is 4.1 billion, it’s becoming easier to figure out who the very best are, and they’ve become more mobile. There’s this intense global competition for the best, most creative minds who are able to create the biggest, most important things. That’s going to continue accelerating, and that’s why it becomes even more important to create a kind of workplace where those people want to be.” Forbes interviewed Bock about his upcoming book, “Work Rules!: Insights from Inside Google That Will Transform How You Live and Lead.”
