HR Interviews Playlist Ep 530: Workforce Resilience
Despite the current economic issues, many businesses face a talent crisis. Skill shortages are part of the picture, but perhaps most worrying for business leaders are low levels of engagement and retention as expectations of the employment experience continue to evolve rapidly.
So what can employers do to build workforce resilience and get the competitive talent advantage essential to drive long-term value?
My guest this week is Tammy Browning, President at KellyOCG. KellyOCG has recently published a comprehensive piece of research looking at workforce resilience. In our conversation, Tammy shares the findings and talks us through the three strategic pillars that are helping employers to build a resilient workforce.
In the interview, we discuss:
- The methodology behind the report
- Low levels of employee engagement and severe retention issues
- Have things gone backwards since the pandemic?
- A lack of action on DE&I
- Mental health, career pathways, and purpose
- Aligning talent acquisition, talent sustainability, and organizational resilience
- Do leaders understand the issues?
- The critical elements of workforce resilience
- Purpose and capability
- The impact of AI
- What will the future look like?
