There was a time when talent acquisition was seen as a purely transactional function. It was a numbers game, all concerned with filling requisitions as quickly as possible. But as the industry developed, so too did recruiting. TA can now be responsible for so much more within this space, from talent information to internal mobility and retention. So, how do we keep this transformation going?

2023 looks set to be another particularly precarious year for the workplace. Given the amount of recent change we’ve seen, organizations are trying to pinpoint exact areas for improvement. Whether its optimizing their approach to flexible work, nurturing and retaining internal talent, or looking at how leadership must develop, there are countless opportunities to fine-tune how the workplace operates.

For many recruiters, the past few years have presented many challenges with the pandemic, remote work, and Zoom interviews. Dealing with a war on top of all this seems unimaginable. And yet, that’s the painful reality for Ukrainian-based businesses. How can you stay motivated and continue to engage candidates during a war, if you are now safe to do so?

The role of management has changed drastically over the course of the last few years. And understandably so. Workplaces are markedly different environments now, not only in terms of how and where people operate, but also culturally. Never has there been a bigger onus on creating fairer, more equitable workplaces. As the lines between our jobs and lives have shrunk, wellbeing has stormed into primary focus.

The world of hybrid and remote work and interviews has revealed major flaws in the standard employee retention handbook. Most organizations can fall into the trap of treating the symptoms of high levels of churn and being reactive, rather than focusing on fixing the root cause of turnover. There’s a dangerous cycle of investing time and resources into hiring, onboarding, and training only for an employee to leave after the first year.

Soft skills are the currency of the workplace. We’ve been talking about this for years now, how we must hire on more than just years of experience or educational achievements. But as the best talent continues to be a scarce commodity and the air of economic uncertainty is only thickening, I think it’s time to start taking this approach seriously. We know that soft skills – or, as I prefer to call them ‘workplace skills’ – are far more indicative of future job performance compared to hard skills.

Trust is a key component when it comes to measuring the state of inclusion in an organization. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to work, and as a leader it’s your job to create an inclusive, high-trust environment. Employees are happier, more productive, engaged, and motivated when a culture of trust is fostered – so how can leaders build this?

Millions of US workers are resigning from their jobs in a phenomenon that’s being referred to as the “Great Resignation.” A variety of reasons have been cited for this exodus, ranging from the effects of long-term lockdown giving people more clarity on their future, to disgruntlement over poor working conditions and lack of flexibility. And while this is currently a very US-centric issue, the trend looks set to spread globally.

“Language informs behavior. How we speak informs how we treat people.”. We all know the power that words occupy, particularly when it comes to diversity. Used wisely and with compassion, they can make people feel included and at ease. But, words also have the capacity to cause offense, even if that isn’t the intention. And with the language surrounding diversity being so nuanced, it can often feel incredibly overwhelming to get it right. .

While there is nothing new about working remotely, the scale at which it has been adopted over the last twelve months has been staggering. An option that only a small section of the workforce were able to benefit from became a life raft for many organizations. Necessity forced its implementation, but the results spoke for themselves. So even as we slowly begin to transition back into society, remote work isn’t disappearing.

It’s hard to think of another time when high employee engagement would be at such a premium. With the malicious tendrils of COVID snaking their way around every aspect of life, and the unintended diaspora to remote work, having committed and passionate teams is a life raft for so many organisations. Often touted as a primary reason for overall success in companies, employee engagement is proven to boost retention, increase productivity and enrich that bottom line.

It is the ethos, the way people feel about the work they are doing and the morals they believe in.

An unprecedented year calls for unprecedented changes – especially in how we work. As the calendar is beginning to tick into its final month, EOY performance reviews are rearing their heads. But how can we accurately assess what employees have “achieved” in such uncertain times? It’s an issue that has clearly been on the mind.

When companies across the world were forced, suddenly, to adopt “working from home”, no one was sure what the result would be. Would work get done? Would it be too difficult to do business from your kitchen counter? Certainly, these were valid concerns. But when remote working became the only way to get business done, many people were pleasantly surprised with how effective and how productive they became.

As the new UK government indicates plans to ramp up police recruits across England and Wales, interest in police roles has declined sharply this year, according to new analysis by Indeed. With public plans to employ an extra 20,000 police officers, a lack of willing recruits could cause some serious difficulty.
