The war for talent has turned the recruitment process on its head. Employers who once were flooded with applicants now struggle to fill positions. It’s a job seeker’s market and many candidates are being more selective in their job search.
While some companies have returned to the office, other businesses remain fully or partially remote. How do you support a remote team? The following tips can help if some or all of your staff continue to converse through a view screen.
As the competitive job market continues, companies have found new ways to attract job applicants. Here are a few creative hiring incentives implemented recently by businesses everywhere:
Terminating a staff member is stressful both for the individual and the organization. As the employer, you have the right to terminate someone who is not performing – or who is harassing or endangering other staff. The employee has a right to an explanation and as much dignity as possible under the circumstances.
As a job-hunter, you’re focused on finding a position that’s a good fit for your skills and interests. But how do you know if the company is a good fit – that the organization aligns with your own needs and ideas? Hiring experts advise looking for these “green flags.”
Technology is rapidly changing the business environment. Estimates indicate that within the next year, more than 50% of American workers will need new skills to continue to perform their current roles. In response, forward-thinking companies are investing in “upskilling.”
It’s been a crazy couple of years for hiring personnel. Between the pandemic and the resulting Turnover Tsunami, human resources departments have been hard-pressed to keep their companies fully staffed. Whatever is in store for 2022, it’s time to develop a staffing plan to meet those challenges.
Workers have left their jobs in record numbers this year, with many industries experiencing an unprecedented competition for talent. If you want your company to be a casualty of the Great Resignation, don’t pay any attention to some of the top reasons employees quit.
Now more than ever, employers are focusing on diversity within the workplace. And while it may sound easy to “just hire more diverse staff,” in practice, it isn’t that simple.
In the interest of developing a diverse workforce, companies must focus on a range of hiring factors, including age. Baby Boomers are retiring from their careers just as members of the newest Generation Z (born 1996 or later) begin theirs.
