Everything about the employment world is changing, from ideas of what the workplace should look like to what constitutes a “job.” Technology and the shifting wants and needs of younger generations are redefining work. As an employer, you will need to stay on top of these changing trends to make sure that your business can adapt.
It’s simple: if your company is settling for anything less than Rockstar talent, company problems swell. By bringing in the right people, you’re investing in continued success, instead of introducing the possibility for issues that will cost your company over the long term.
One area that is sure to change in the next few years is employee background screening. Criminal background checks in the workplace are already transforming, driven by new legal standards or technological innovation. The background check policy you have in place right now may become obsolete in the next five years. Staying aware of changes will help you find the best hires while remaining compliant with all relevant legal standards.
This is a list of Human Resources (HR) statistics that have changed the way HR professionals recruit and hire. These HR stats have resulted in innovative recruiting strategies and methods. Improvements in technology and HR analytics have enabled us to measure and get useful insights. We should use these HR stats to make better and more informed decisions.
It’s getting harder to break through the white noise of advertisements flooding the web. Consumers do everything in their power to block out as many marketing messages as they can (thank you, AdBlocker). But that doesn’t mean they don’t want to hear from brands. In fact, 71% want personalized messages that cater to their interests and shopping habits.
Technology is advancing at such a rapid pace that in 2020, about 5 million jobs will be replaced by automated machines. Self-driving cars will gradually change the way we travel, and artificial intelligence (AI) will soon make decisions for us. We are on the verge of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, an age that will require a new set of skills for the workforce of tomorrow.
But finding the right person for the job can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. The time it takes to hire someone is currently at an all-time high - 42 business days, according to a survey by SAP. Because of this, it’s tempting to hire the first person who seems like a good fit. But making a decision too fast can have consequences.
However, recruitment has evolved to a great degree such that it is no longer sufficient to just hire the right talent, it becomes essential to develop and nurture them as well. In this digital age, all this is possible through simple yet efficient digital marketing techniques that can engage and attract the right talent.
I was recently involved in hiring a new property manager for a residential apartment complex. The top candidate was starkly different from the successful employee who had previously held the position for 20 years.The new guy was a great fit, but he was much younger, had a different work background, and was essentially “unproven” in working with a more complicated property and staff.
