Welcome to the Age Of Uncertainty.
As we begin 2014, we know something for sure about the 21st century job market: It’s full of uncertainty. We’re in the midst of upheaval due to 1) a slowly recovering, but still unsettled, economy and 2) healthcare reform that, so far, has spawned more questions than solutions. Millennials entered the job market when uncertainty was the norm, so they think (and work) a bit differently than what most employers are used to.
New year, new approach to staffing.
Change is hard. Change isn’t always fun. But in times of uncertainty, change is a given. So it’s time you embrace it with the following alterations to workforce management to be more relevant and successful:
- You need to be nimble.
While you want to be consistent when it comes to your company’s morals, strategy and long-term goals, you must be able to alter your course, stay fluid and embrace new solutions to adapt to changes in the economy.
- You need to think lean.
HR can no longer operate under the old staffing model: only seeking out permanent employees with the expectation that they’re going to stick it out for life. You need a new strategy that emphasizes flexibility, embracing temporary staffing solutions to get the right people on board when you need them.
- You need to keep current.
The impact of the 2014 Healthcare Reform Act remains to be seen. So far, there are more questions than answers and more hiccups than hurrahs. While we’re optimistic about the future of the reform, you need to combat uncertainty by being “in the know.” Stay up to date on the Act’s implications as it’s rolled out. Understand its effects on your company and, of course, your workforce.
