Many firms can benefit from professional help, however, leaders can resist change and help. 2020 is a year of change, accept it.
We all can agree that business as usual, has been upended. New business models, agile ways of working, and the need for technology are changing the way organizations operate. The pandemic has accelerated the transformation of the business principles and human experiences that drives behavior, culture, and sustainable growth.
Nevertheless, the fact remains, businesses prosper when they develop and deploy their people in ways that maximize their potential. DaMar Staffing believes these five things are essential to leverage growth in 2021.
1. Workforce strategy and planning: The talent required to deliver value in the future may have shifted. The required talent for growth was already a challenge before COVID-19, but now more than 58% of personnel have changed. The pandemic is accelerating the speed and scale of the problem; the lack of qualified staff is jeopardizing future growth.
2. Finding and hiring the right people: Talent acquisition managers are struggling to navigate the current job market. The first step to uncovering great talent is clarifying your hiring process. Streamlining your recruiting and interviewing methods will add value to your talent acquisition system. Improving job descriptions, recruiting, screaming, and interviewing will help managers make better and faster decisions.
3. Training and growing talent: Prepare your staff for a new and evolving business environment. The job market has undergone significant changes. Your workforce must be capable of adapting and pivoting to varying business needs. Adaptability isn’t new but it has never been more critical. Today’s short-term uncertainty hasn’t altered the longer-term reality.
4. Managing and rewarding results: Change how your organization measures performance and rewards employees. The pandemic has thrown evaluation management into chaos. Some departments are having a great year, others are busy, but losing ground; and what about employees stuck in a coronavirus freeze. Old metrics will not work under the current conditions and may upset many. So, how do you make performance appraisals meaningful and relevant?
5. Customize the employee experience: Workforce engagement and experience have a new meaning. The pandemic has given leaders a steep learning curve and many are gaining valuable lessons about employee engagement, maintaining work procedures, and policies that nurture connections and job commitments. Engagement evolves vision, and goals that build loyalty and employee satisfaction and a path to high wages. Let’s be clear, this is not a human resources issue, this is now a critical business issue.
