Retaining talent is a challenge for any company whose success depends on the creativity and excellence of its employees. This is especially true for the Cirque du Soleil, the “circus without animals,” a great success with 2,100 employees including 500 artists – mimes, clowns, acrobats, gymnasts, musicians and production professionals. A company full of creative management staff is a juggling act in itself, between keeping his artists happy and pursue an effective strategy to attract business and talent.
