"We're excited to have Libby Sartain join i4cp as an executive in residence," said Kevin Oakes, CEO of i4cp. "As CHRO of both Yahoo! Inc. and Southwest Airlines, Libby dealt with a variety of major initiatives that addressed both business transformation and human resource imperatives such as attracting, retaining and developing employees, among many other issues. Our member companies, most of whom are in the Fortune 500 themselves, will benefit greatly from her experiences at similarly large and respected organizations."
"The speed at which change occurs in today's business environment has produced an era of volatility, making it difficult for any organization to practically address talent management with a view much beyond the current budget cycle," said Sartain. "At the same time, the market for talent has tightened, even in a down economy. There are segments of work where the supply of workers cannot keep up with the demand. It will be great to be involved with i4cp and contribute to the research and resources to help us solve these issues."
