How to Make the Future of Work Human-Centered

The shape and nature of work is changing, forcing employers to re-examine the role of humans in the workforce. By 2030, it is predicted that as many as 30% of today’s jobs will be lost to automation.  

As businesses begin to evaluate the impact of this disruption, one thing is clear. Everything we have become familiar with relating to the workplace is undergoing a shift and talent management cannot continue to live within its own silo. Your employees must become the focal point for corporate strategies in 2020 if businesses are to effectively respond to such radical change.

How to Create Effective Skills Training with Career Pathing

As the ‘future of work’ begins to assume a more defined shape, the majority of employers are leaning towards training of their existing talent, rather than hiring, but skills development is not moving fast enough to keep up with demand. Ongoing upskilling and reskilling can help to offset the impact on your workforce from these fundamental changes. Understanding which training methods are the most effective for new skills acquisition is therefore paramount.

Reskilling and Upskilling: A Strategic Response to Changing Skill Demands

The 2018 Future of Jobs Report from the World Economic Forum predicts that 75 million jobs will be displaced by 2022 in 20 major economies. At the same time, 133 million new roles are expected to be created, driven by advances in technology and continuous digital transformation.

Millennials: Moving Up or Moving On

Millennials have grown up in a fast moving, ‘on-demand’ culture. Their expectations are high and they are impatient for success and accelerated career advancement. Moving up in their career is at the top of their agenda and it must be on yours too as their employer if you are to prevent them from moving on.

What Reasons Are You Giving Your Employees To Stay?

In 2018, workers left their jobs at the highest rate since 2001, a trend that is continuing in 2019. The latest figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that quit rates are fairly consistent at 2.3% (or 3.5 million employees) each month. At the same time, new jobs are being added to the economy every month – 263,000 were recorded in April, exceeding all forecasts and making staff retention the focus for 2019. But as employers scramble to recruit new talent or simply hold on to the people they have, they are missing one vital piece of the jigsaw.

Employee Development: From Perception to Reality

Employee engagement surveys are an indicator of how emotionally committed your employees are to your organization – and to their jobs. Ideally the results of your survey should reflect an organization that is perceived as invested in the development of its employees. But while that may be the perception it is often not the reality for most organizations.

What Employees Really Want From Their Managers

What Employees Really Want From Their Managers

Employees don’t quit organizations, they quit managers. It’s a frequently made claim but one that today’s organizations cannot afford to ignore. Repeated studies show that poor management performance is a major reason people leave their jobs. In fact, employees who rate their line manager’s performance as poor are four times more likely to be job hunting – and 40% are likely to have interviewed for a new job in the last month.  

Implementing successful talent retention strategies is a problem that most organizations are all too familiar with, but your leadership has a significant role to play.
