Our research shows that employee expectations are shifting and employers must significantly adapt their value proposition if they want to remain attractive for #talent. How is that affecting how #staffing firms position themselves and the services they offer? This is what Pam Sands, Board member of the World Employment Confederation, and Francesca Profeta, CCWP, Research Analyst at Staffing Industry Analysts, discuss in this video. https://lnkd.in/eY4khBRd

Vos collaboratrices et collaborateurs sont-ils bien formés à l’intelligence artificielle? Si la transition numérique a d’ores et déjà transformé de nombreuses entreprises, la révolution de l’IA n’en est qu’à ses débuts. Elle devrait rapidement s’intensifier, dès lors que l’intelligence artificielle générative pourra être utilisée à plus large échelle. Pour s’y préparer, les entreprises doivent tenir compte des nouvelles exigences qu’elle implique en termes de qualifications et qui changent très vite. Elles doivent offrir aux personnes qu’elles embauchent la possibilité de se réorienter en cas de suppressions de postes et de suivre des formations leur permettant d’acquérir de nouvelles compétences. Dans cet environnement qui évolue à vitesse grand V, la flexibilité des talents va ainsi devenir un facteur décisif de réussite pour les entreprises. Une enquête réalisée par FT Longitude sur demande de la World Employment Confederation (WEC) révèle d’intéressants résultats au sujet des «Talents agiles à l’ère de l’IA». Au total, 715 dirigeantes et dirigeants ont été interrogés, parmi lesquels 680 relèvent d’entreprises faisant partie du Forbes Global 2000. Pour en savoir plus, lisez le dernier article du blog HR Today rédigé par Viktorija Proskurovska, Labour Market Intelligence Manager et Aurélie Pattyn, Communications Manager WEC https://lnkd.in/d2afqaSU Vous trouverez de plus amples informations sur l'étude en cliquant sur le lien suivant : https://lnkd.in/gi52RqB6 #IntelligenceArtificielle #TransformationNumérique #TendancesRH #TravailTemporaire World Employment Confederation The Work We Want Marius Osterfeld

Great insights on the economic and labour market outlook shared by some of the leading #workforce solutions companies during a webinar organised by the World Employment Confederation recently... It echoes some of our findings: the growing need for #flexibility, the impact of AI on #skills, the importance of enlarging the #talent pools and of #upskilling & #reskilling... With 88% of employers planning to increase their use of agency workers in response to market dynamics and to fill skills gaps, #HRservices providers will certainly play a more strategic role in labour markets. https://lnkd.in/epwpatYv
It was a pleasure to take part in a WEConversation "Insiders’ Insights: HR Services’ Outlook on Labour Market Challenges" With Daniele Merlerati of the #GIGroup, Martin Meier of #theAdeccoGroup and Dominique Hermans of #Randstad, all that moderated by the one and only Shazia Ejaz of #REC. A lot of great insights and golden nuggets to think about in the coming days and weeks. My key "aha moments" and takeaways are: ⭐ Private employment agencies can and do play a role in the challenging #labourmarket situation by reaching out to the #talent that has not found a way to the labour market yet, and giving them an extra push in #training if/where needed. ⭐ Every storm has a silver lining, and when the portfolio of services and geographies is diversified, then economic or business pitfalls in one area are compensated by an uptick in other areas. Stay focused. ⭐ #AI creates a lot of uncertainty at the moment. The more optimistic scenario depicts "life as more beautiful and more human thanks to AI." ⭐ #Qualifications and #skills: most schools in most countries offer obsolete (last century) education, so young people coming out of school are unfit for the modern world of work. This needs to change. ⭐ New #generation is not looking for a job in the same way as before, does not want to work as much and for as long as earlier generations, and does not care about the compensation as much as #flexibility. ⭐ #Circular labour markets: unemployment is immediately unproductive, so why not adopt the circular labour market concept, letting the workers choose their contract type, their work mode and working conditions? Current labour market policies are unfit for purpose, so why not put in place transition policies that help people just avoid unemployment altogether? Thanks to all for such an inspiring debate. My only wish is that we had more time to go into detail on each of the above :) World Employment Confederation The Work We Want

Earlier this week, on World Day for Decent Work, we asked on which of the four dimensions of #DecentWork as defined by the International Labour Organization, we still ought to make far more progress (https://lnkd.in/eu5tgwj7). 60% said "employment creation". As the World Employment Confederation explains, the problem is rather a mismatch between the jobs available and the #skills required or #talent pools being overlooked. Check out the WEC's LinkedIn feed for more insights into how #HRservices can enable better labour market functioning and enable decent work for all! #WDDW24 #TheWorkWeWant
During this week marked by World Day for #DecentWork, we’re exploring how the #HRservices industry contributes to the four pillars of the Decent Work agenda: 1️⃣ #employment creation. Labour markets are currently in a situation where many jobs are vacant. Yet, employers face labour shortages. Rather than a lack of workers, the problem rather lies in a mismatch with the skills required or some talent pools being overlooked. Our research #TheWorkWeWant shows that 52% of organisations plan to source talent from under-employed sectors of the workforce and provide them with the support they need to be successful at work, in order to expand their pool of talent within the next two years. HR services agencies have expertise in identifying those talents and helping them access labour markets. Read more: https://lnkd.in/enf5qrtP #WDDW24 #TheWorkWeWant

Today is World Mental Health Day. As we spend a third of our life at #work, taking care of our mental health at work is essential for our overall wellbeing. As the #career experts of the World Employment Confederation point out, companies' typical response to that challenge is offering healthy food, games, and yoga sessions over lunchtime. What is often overlooked – and actually more impactful – is an investment in career support. 🔎 https://lnkd.in/eYTvbKpj 🗣 Which actions are you taking to invest in your #career and ensure your #wellbeing at work? Let us know in the comments!

Today is World Day for Decent Work #WDDW24. Despite the significant progress made over the past decades, #DecentWork is not yet a given for many around the world. The International Labour Organization defines four dimensions for decent #work: #employment creation, social protection, rights at work, and social dialogue. On which one do you believe we ought to make far more progress? Decent Work is #TheWorkWeWant!

The Global Lifelong Learning Summit organised in #Singapore this week nails three of the main findings that our research amongst more than 700 senior executives around the world uncovered: 💡 Flexibility is non-negotiable. People expect their work to adapt to their lifestyle and their life stage, not the other way around. 💡The deployment of #AI, and #digitalisation in general, is triggering a "big #skills rethink" and employers fear that their organisation can’t train employees fast enough to keep up with technology developments in the next three years. 💡The future of work is more diverse. 83% of our respondents say there’s a need to build awareness of the diverse types of contract available to workers today, and to enable individuals to choose what suits them best. But only 38% of them feel fully empowered to get the optimal mix between diverse forms of work. As Charles Cameron, Vice-President of the World Employment Confederation, points out, this creates a need for policymakers to ensure that legal frameworks recognise the value of organised and well-regulated diverse forms of work such as agency work. More from our research: https://lnkd.in/epwpatYv
Great to be representing World Employment Confederation at the Lifelong Learning Summit in Singapore with a focus on human flourishing in the age of AI. The policy challenge most clearly articulated when the representative of global unions, The ITUC, said his daughter wants to work differently to her parents. She wants to 'fly' and be free to move. Secure work is an admirable concept, but will become increasingly unsustainable, as AI and skills based hiring 'fractionalises' traditional 'jobs'. Agency work will continue to play a key role in balancing flexibility and security. Our role and leadership is critical to the future of work. #wecglobal #rcsa #loveyourwork #recruitment #staffing #agencywork

Our research shows that #flexibility is now non-negotiable in the world of #work. We expect our work to adapt to our lifestyle and our life stage, not the other way around. Check out how this pans out in #Switzerland!
Viertagewoche: Flexibilität in der Werkstatt – Ein Modell der Zukunft? Immer mehr Schweizer Unternehmen führen die Viertagewoche ein, auch im Handwerk. Eine Aargauer Autogarage bietet ihren Mitarbeitenden dieses #Arbeitszeitmodell an – mit gemischten Ergebnissen. Während einige die zusätzlichen freien Tage geniessen, sind die längeren Arbeitstage für andere zu fordernd. Laut einer Studie von swissstaffing sind Schweizer Unternehmen im internationalen Vergleich besonders bereit, flexible Arbeitsmodelle zu testen – besonders im Kampf um #Fachkräfte. -> Lesen Sie mehr im Artikel im SonntagsBlick von Thomas Schlittler und Philippe Rossier: https://lnkd.in/dXRa_R_A -> zur Studie: https://lnkd.in/dtS7y6e9 World Employment Confederation The Work We Want Marius Osterfeld #flexibilität #fachkräftemangel #temporaerarbeit #arbeitswelt #zukunftderarbeit
