Attracting the best talent from around the UK to Liverpool and preventing the brain drain (questions 12, 13 and 14)
Attracting the best people is key to ensuring a region can promote itself to outside investors.
The responses to our survey show that at present it is obvious that Liverpool could do better in this area. The majority of respondents were not convinced that Liverpool is currently able to attract the top people with 43% saying the best talent was not coming to Liverpool.
Despite this, half of all respondents believed that Liverpool’s most gifted business people were staying in the city to build their careers.
These results show the vast gulf in the perception and reality of living in Liverpool. The reality of living and working in such a vibrant and exciting environment is at total odds to the perception of city living in fear under the threat of crime.
Most of the business community believe the City of Culture award will act as a positive catalyst to Liverpool’s ambitions. 85% of respondents believed that the City of Culture win will attract companies based outside the city to establish a presence because they want a piece of the action.| Q12: In your opinion is business in Liverpool attracting the best talent from around the country? | ||||
