New Report Geared to Employers: MAKE IT. MSP. INSIGHTS -- TALENT IN THE MINNEAPOLIS SAINT PAUL REGION

Posted by GREATER MSP  |  Monday, November 21, 2016

This new MAKE IT. MSP. INSIGHTS report (click here for the report) will identify the region's key talent issues and opportunities and will suggest ways in which employers can support this region's efforts to maintain its top competitive advantage. The pages of this report are intended to provide credible, timely insight to make confident decisions in a fast-changing talent landscape. Employers will also find resources in each section to help make sense of the data and move to action.

Much of the data and analysis is entirely original -- the product of focus groups, surveys and third-party research reports conducted in 2016 that have never before been published. Combined, this information provides an honest, penetrating look at the forces driving some of the most competitive segments of the workforce: newcomers, professionals of color, tech professionals and more. 

We hope this data helps employers drive change within their organizations and increases their motivation to engage on these subjects with other employers and community institutions.
