    A sign that the economy is slowing? Suddenly, it has become easier to fill hourly positions that were previously hard to fill, especially the humdrum ones. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) recently reported that filling hourly jobs such as retail and cleaning appears no longer challenging. See https://lnkd.in/eykHxg8y    At the door of the cleaning company of Boston’s Logan Airport is a sign that reads, “WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT HIRING.” This is unusual for a company that hires people to clean the airport terminals because jobs like these are among the toughest to fill in a booming job market. The WSJ notes that “executives regularly bemoaned that they couldn’t find enough retail clerks, warehouse workers, cooks, housekeepers and others. That trend is shifting, one of the key factors weighing on the labor market.”    The WSJ article cites examples, such as the manufacturer John Deere, which has laid off about 15% of its hourly workforce since November (approximately 2,100 workers). Another example is Spirit Airlines, which does not recruit flight attendants and offers them voluntary unpaid leaves of absence to cut costs. It will also furlough about 240 pilots and downgrade 100 captains to cut costs.    The WSJ concludes that U.S. companies are pulling back on hiring for such routine jobs. However, the WSJ examples are anecdotal, and the report does not provide a clear conclusion. Is it the economy generally? Is it a “big silent layoff” (as one executive in the hourly worker field put it), whereby companies shrink their workforce through attrition and hire fewer workers? Or is it a sign of economic restructuring?    Tilman Bender, principal of the executive recruitment firm TH Bender & Partners, notes: “The American job market is showing signs of returning to reality. Many employers welcome this development. The lack of availability of motivated and qualified employees is repeatedly cited as a brake on growth and a cost driver. But good employees are always in short supply – even in a recession! Although it may be easier to find good people now, the challenge of retaining people long-term and creating the framework for operational growth remains.”

    Ein Anzeichen der abschwächenden Konjunktur? Plötzlich ist es leichter, stundenweise Arbeiter für Jobs zu finden, die vorher kaum jemand wollte. -- Das Wall Street Journal (WSJ) berichtete kürzlich, dass die Besetzung von Stundenjobs, z.B. im Einzelhandel und in der Gebäudereinigung, nicht mehr schwierig zu sein scheint. Siehe https://lnkd.in/eykHxg8y      Ein Beispiel: An der Tür der Reinigungsfirma des Bostoner Logan Airport hängt ein Schild mit der Aufschrift: „WIR STELLEN ZUR ZEIT NICHT EIN.“ Das ist ungewöhnlich für eine Firma, die normalerweise immer Leute für die Reinigung der Flughafenterminals sucht, denn Jobs wie diese gehören zu den am schwersten zu besetzenden. Das WSJ stellt fest, dass „Führungskräfte regelmäßig beklagten, sie könnten nicht genug Einzelhandelskaufleute, Lagerarbeiter, Köche, Haushälterinnen und andere finden. Dieser Trend ändert sich, und ist einer der Hauptfaktoren, die den Arbeitsmarkt belasten.“     Der WSJ-Artikel nennt Beispiele wie den Hersteller John Deere, der seit November etwa 15 Prozent seiner Stundenlohnbelegschaft (etwa 2.100 Arbeiter) entlassen hat. Ein weiteres Beispiel ist Spirit Airlines, die keine Flugbegleiter mehr einstellt und ihnen freiwilligen unbezahlten Urlaub gewährt, um Kosten zu sparen. Außerdem wird die Fluggesellschaft etwa 240 Piloten beurlauben und 100 Kapitäne degradieren, um Kosten zu sparen.     Das WSJ kommt zu dem Schluss, dass US-Unternehmen bei der Einstellung solcher Routinejobs zurückstecken. Die Beispiele des WSJ sind jedoch anekdotischer Natur und der Bericht kommt zu keiner klaren Schlussfolgerung. Liegt es an der Wirtschaft im Allgemeinen? Handelt es sich um eine „große stille Entlassung“ (wie es ein Manager im Stundenlohnsektor ausdrückte), bei der die Unternehmen ihre Belegschaften durch Fluktuation verkleinern und weniger Arbeiter einstellen? Oder ist es ein Zeichen der wirtschaftlichen Umstrukturierung?    Tilman Bender, Geschäftsführer von TH Bender & Partners, sagt dazu: “Der amerikanische Arbeitsmarkt zeigt Anzeichen einer Rückkehr zur Realität. Viele Arbeitgeber begrüßen diese Entwicklung. Mangelnde Verfügbarkeit von motivierten und qualifizierten Mitarbeitern wird immer wieder als Wachstumsbremse und Kostentreiber genannt. Aber gute Mitarbeiter sind immer Mangelware. Auch wenn es jetzt möglicherweise einfacher ist, gute Leute zu finden, besteht weiterhin die Herausforderung, die Leute langfristig an das Unternehmen zu binden und die Rahmenbedingungen für das betriebliche Wachstum zu gestalten.”

    Bloomberg reports that “More CFOs Are Getting the CEO’s Job.” – A recent Bloomberg news article notes that CFOs are increasingly called up when trouble is in the Boardroom. One example is the copper miner Freeport-McMoRan, Inc., which instituted an “extreme austerity approach” during the pandemic, and CFO Kathleen Quirk, who helped reduce capital expenses by almost 30%. At DuPont, the board designated CFO Lori Koch to regain investor trust and “restor[e] operational discipline.” https://lnkd.in/dFu-Rf_H (July 18, 2024).   But this article is merely the capstone for several 2023-2024 news reports on this issue. A previous Bloomberg article noted the same trend, citing the example of Newell Brands Inc., the company behind Rubbermaid and Sharpie, which greatly simplified operations. The CFO behind that, Chris Peterson, then went on to become chief executive. It concludes that CFO positions are increasingly becoming the path to the top job at big US companies. https://lnkd.in/edBkE4NB (January 16, 2024)   Similarly, The Financial Times just reported a similar trend in the UK. A study found that about a third of the FTSE (British stock market index) 100 CEOs had previously served as CFOs (up from 21 percent in 2019). The article explains: “… finance directors make the best boardroom chairs. They are seen to have smaller egos (at least compared with some table-thumping chief executives), attention to detail, an understanding of risk management, and an intense focus on the bottom line.” Thus, chief financial officers are increasingly tapped for the chief executive role — “As ever, when a crisis hits, call the numbers guy or gal.” https://lnkd.in/eeP9seeS (March 14, 2024) Tilman Bender, managing director of the executive recruitment company TH Bender & Partners, confirms this trend based on his own experience. “First of all, whether true or not, there is a general perception that having a finance-savvy CEO will improve the bottom line when the business is mature, or the economic prospects flatten. In scenarios, especially after dynamic growth in sales or after an acquisition, shareholders focus on improving cash flow and margins. In such an environment, someone with a finance background is often considered the best placement. But thoughtful selection committees are aware of what to look for in candidates:  while financial acumen is important, additional skills are required to be a successful CEO – business savvy to keep clients and partners satisfied, emotional intelligence to work with stakeholders and employees, and a strategic eye to spot business opportunities. But, when located and attracted, finance-savvy CEOs and Country Managers can be extremely successful business partners to shareholders and executive management alike.”
