We’ve been hearing about the “War for Talent” for years, but now it feels like the war is deepening.
Companies across industries are facing massive gaps for vital skills, and they will need to re-train or uptrain massive sections of their workforce to get ready for the growth in their companies. Companies can and should take on the onus of training talent by taking steps like hiring people straight out of school, employing low-experience or no-experienced people and then training them as they need them, while instilling cultures of continuous learning.
On top of that, the pandemic has made many people reevaluate their jobs, leading to mass resignations in many sectors.
To attract top talent, employers must offer a working environment that is appropriate for the new world of work, including job flexibility, authentic leadership, diversity and appreciation.
