Talent solutions specialist Cpl’s Talent Evolution Group (TEG) has forecasted seven talent management meta-trends that will be at forefront of UK recruitment and retention success in 2023.
- Total talent attraction– Organisations need to adopt an integrated, data driven, and experience centric approach in finding and attracting new talent, from wherever the talent may be. The talent is out there, but not necessarily checking the job boards, so organisations are less likely to reach the candidates they desire with more traditional approaches to talent attraction.
- Purposeful value propositions– It is no longer just about remuneration with talent remaining loyal to the highest bidder. Although salary is still critical to attracting and retaining talent, employers also need to consider the broader value equation which includes propositions such as career advancements, inclusion and diversity, work-life balance, and employee benefits.
- Harnessing the blend– Harnessing and professionally managing a blend of full-time employees, contingent workers, delivery partners, suppliers, contractors, and customers. Whilst blended models provide many advantages, they also create new complexities and meaningful challenges that business leaders must respond to.
- Deconstructing work, augmentation, and transversal skills – The key philosophy is thinking beyond traditional boundaries or tightly defined roles and deconstructing work tasks to the core competencies and skills required to deliver the work.
- A human space– The creation of a human space requires a constant focus on ensuring a fully diverse and inclusive environment that allows people to confidently be themselves at work. Prioritising personal, emotional, and social needs across diverse workforces will continuously improve the humanity of an organisation.
- Journeys of growth– Creating journeys of meaning, progression, and growth for employees throughout their employment. With five generations now at work, there is an opportunity to provide more personalised career experiences and journeys tailored for employees and employee groups.
- Wellness-centred leadership– Taking proactive responsibility for the health and wellbeing of workforces and the organisations’ wider sphere of influence. A culture of health can help reduce costs, increase revenues and profits, and enhance a company’s reputation.
