Give Some, Get More
Five strategies that help create a more fulfilled workforce.
By Derek Irvine
In today’s global, modern workplace, the concept of bringing more humanity, recognition, and social connection to the employee experience continues to gain momentum. Forward-thinking HR and business leaders are realizing traditional performance management methods have become archaic. It’s no longer about just getting more from employees. Rather, it’s about managers and company leaders giving employees more to help them find value and meaning in their work.
Sharing the Wealth?
Worker confidence is up, but trust in company leadership is on a steady decline.
By The Editors
The Worker Confidence Index (WCI) for the third quarter of 2017 increased by 2.8 points after significant drop of 7.9 points in the second quarter. WCI now stands at 102.5. Of the four components of the WCI, only likelihood of promotion rose by 3.2 points in the third quarter of 2017, while other components remained virtually the same. Other indicies—job stability, likelihood of raise, and trust in company leadership—measure similarly to the third quarter of 2016.
Taking Candidate Relationships to the Next Level
By Taylor Thompson
With Glassdoor reporting that the average job opening attracts 250 resumes, it’s hard to believe that 65 percent of recruiters, according to Jobvite, report their biggest challenge in hiring as a shortage of available talent. So why are talent acquisition teams struggling to manage candidates? Many applicants may just be unqualified. However, when it comes to filling open positions within their organizations, talent acquisition and recruitment marketing teams often fail to access an entire hub of data readily available to them: their past applicants.
Beamery, a candidate-relationship software company, claims that the key to hiring candidates is not just forwarding available jobs, but building valuable employer-candidate relationships prior to the application process. That’s why with the launch of their company in 2014, their offices are already expanding to three major European and American cities and their clientele includes big-name companies like Facebook and VMWare. Beamery is truly taking the recruitment software industry by storm.
Linking All Types of Talent
By Marta Chmielowicz
The gig economy is exploding, but are companies truly embracing the diversity of their new workforce? For many, the answer is no. According to Ardent Partners’ 2016-2017 State of Contingent Workforce Management report, nearly 38 percent of the world’s total workforce is now considered “non-employee,” but only 63 percent of organizations are reshaping how work is done across the numerous talent sources in their enterprise. Without a unified talent acquisition solution to help manage the different types of workers in today’s world, companies may be missing out on the best-fit talent for their needs.
“By taking a more extensive view of their workforce and embracing a truly blended working population, companies can exercise more flexibility and adapt more easily to alternative ways of working to secure the talent in the right place and the right time to meet their needs,” says Kate Heath, global head of RPO, partners and alliances at Lumesse.
Closing the Talent Gap
Organizations are using data and analytics to get ahead of succession and hiring planning.
By Audrey Roth
Long gone are the days when succession and hiring planning were considered cutting-edge HR. Today, both initiatives are essential components to the overall talent management strategy. When executed efficiently, talent gaps will be minimized, and all employees from the entry-level to the C-suite will understand their path to success within the company. Succession planning frequently focuses on senior-level roles, which is certainly a necessity, but lack of a broader organizational strategy can lead to lower levels of engagement and higher levels of attrition.
A Clear View
Total workforce solutions allow organizations to zero in on their most important asset: talent.
By Debbie Bolla
In recent years, HR and talent acquisition leaders have become more and more accountable for the workforce. They often have ownership of not just the people who organizations hire, but also how they perform.
Driving the Economic Growth Engine
Low unemployment in advanced economies is creating positive change.
By The Editors
To explore international labor markets, companies must first consult global labor market data. PeopleScout, a global provider of RPO, MSP, and total workforce solutions, has partnered with HRO Today magazine to produce quarterly reports that compile current international labor market figures, including measures like national gross domestic product (GDP) and unemployment rates over time, from countries across the globe. This data reveals critical information about the state of the talent pool, working conditions, and recruitment needs of various countries and regions. It is an essential tool for predicting fruitful locations for expansion and recruitment, thereby allowing multinational companies to stay competitive in talent acquisition.
