Workforce engagement and satisfaction
It can come as no suprise that today's workforce (in
all sectors) has serious concerns about job secruity.
The fears are most pronounced amongst 18/24 year
olds: nearly half of them are worried that they could
loose their job in the next six months, but at the same
time, this is the group that's most confident to finding
comparable employment elsewhere.
Signs of optimism?
Interestingly, there's one particular group of people
in the jobs market who are emerging from the
downturn with an optimistic outlook on their
prospects. This group is made up of people who - of
necessity - have had to learn new skills and take on
new responsibilities as their workplaces have
downsized - they are known as 'Generation R'.
Generation R are professionals who've expanded
their skills by having to work in more flexible teams
during the recession. They’ve defined new ways of
2. working and don’t want to return to the old. They’re
an exceptional resource and slowly but surely the
competition to hire them is intensifying.
What people want
Which begs the question "what's the right kind of
offer?"Salary is still a strong differentiator between
organisations as far as today's workforce is
concerned, but of equal importance are issues such as
a proper career path, good traing and professional
development programmes. This could well be
becasue amongst those who have upskilled during the
past eighteen months, very few say they've had any
support of training to assist them.
Add to that the fact that at least half the workforce
feels its skills are being under-utilised, and this call
for a stronger focus on developing people’s skills
could be a key factor in deciding people whether to
stay or go should the opportunity present itself.
