Employees are the decisive resource of every organisation. Money, buildings, technology, structures, products and ideas can be acquired or developed. The right people determine whether a company succeeds.
The challenges
- Fewer applicants: demographic change reduces the working population while demand for specialists and leaders grows.
- Changing attitudes and motivation: baby boomers, generation X, millennials and generation Z bring different values, expectations of work-life balance, purpose and self-realisation.
- Resignations: leadership and team climate are often decisive. The original article cites eight in ten departing employees leaving their manager or team climate rather than the company.
- Diversity: people of different ages, qualifications, nationalities, languages and backgrounds must master challenges together.
- Gender: underrepresentation of women in leadership, pay differences and power structures remain issues.
- Readiness to change jobs: the original article cites 42% of employees and leaders being open to a new role, both a risk and an opportunity.
Old recruitment and retention strategies increasingly fail. Repeating them at greater cost produces fewer results, leading to lost revenue and customers, conflict, overwork, frustration and further resignations.
The opportunity lies in a new leadership and team culture, combined with innovative recruitment and development.
