I often get asked by industry professionals, “Who’s even hiring these days?”
After my initial, “Well, you are. And if you’re not, you should be!” response, we dig into reality.
The reality is that there is a lot of restless talent, white knuckle employees who have held on for dear life. There is also a tremendous market of talent on the sidelines. As companies reinvest in processes and technologies, the great ones are also reinvesting in their talent. The talent under their roof and having conversations with external talent. They understand that cycles will shift and want to be prepared for the future. The talent out there is brushing up their resumes, profiles, networking and upskilling. That doesn’t mean they will leave, doesn’t mean they won’t.
Great companies don’t hide from that fact. They lean in and do the things necessary to win the war for talent.
Maintain a strong corporate culture. Be unapologetic as to who you are, attract and retain those who share those values.
Sustain an environment that is supportive to company and employee values!
Invest in your employees. Investment is not always raises and bonuses (but also, not never). Investment is creating an environment of learning and growth. Foster a path for a career!
Understand your employees. What are their individual personal and professional drivers and motivators. It’s not the same for everyone. As long as they are committed and giving 100%, support them and the things that matter most to them.
Create a Win Win employee mindset!
For some, this is a “Duh” moment.
For others, this is an “Ah Ha” moment.
It should never be a “Yeah but” moment.
Business is business and your employees are the heart of your business. Take care of your heart and it will take care of you!
The clouds will eventually part, will you be ready?
