Keeping up with the changing workforce culture

COVID-19 has changed the way we all work. More than ever before, the idea of a “job for life” is a thing of the past. But it’s now increasingly important that employers work just as hard to seem attractive prospects as it is for potential employees.

90% of respondents say their organization faces challenges attracting and retaining staff.

The most commonly reported challenge (37%) is a lack of qualified candidates – but skills gaps are present across all industries and highlight the importance of making the most of your current people. Other barriers include offering uncompetitive terms, a lack of progression or growth opportunities, and a lack of flexibility.

But businesses recognize the importance of addressing this. 91% who face challenges are looking for ways to make improvements.

And for the “optimizing” group, creating a positive workplace culture is a top priority.
