Analyst Insight: Connection is the Key to Delivering Exceptional Business Performance

Posted on by

Though once declared “over,” the great resignation is still with us in a new form … it has given way to “the great I want something more from work,” where people want more opportunity, more development, individualized experiences and learning, coaching/mentoring, and an experience of being acknowledged for who they are and their unique contributions to the work. Then there is the great “I want more connection at work,” and the great, “I want to make a difference.” There is the need for a more personalized experience at work, greater autonomy, a culture of authenticity and belonging, and meaningful relationships with peers and team leaders. What Is Going On in the Talent Landscape? I have found it odd that the “great resignation” was declared to […]

Vantage Circle Blog – What is Total Rewards Strategy? An HR’s Guide

Posted on by

What is a Total Rewards Strategy? A “Total Rewards Strategy” is a method used by businesses to create and implement a comprehensive compensation and benefits package for its employees. Instead of focusing solely on wages, a total rewards strategy considers the complete bundle of rewards that an employee receives, both tangible and intangible. “People want to know they matter and want to be treated as people. That’s the new talent contract.” – Pamela Stroko A well-crafted Total Rewards Strategy encompasses monetary rewards, such as salaries and bonuses, alongside vital non-monetary elements like recognition, work-life balance, and career development opportunities. By strategically integrating these elements, organizations can create a compelling value proposition for their employees. This approach not only attracts top talent but also helps improve […]

Posted on by

As 2023 rang in, so did the hype over artificial intelligence, particularly with generative AI (such as ChatGPT). Seemingly overnight, the long-gathering buzz surrounding AI’s applicability not only to the world of work, but also to business and everything else, became nearly deafening.

#HRTechChat: Navigating the Talent Shortage: A Creative Approach to Skills-Based Hiring

Posted on by

Businesses face a growing challenge: the talent shortage. The traditional ways of recruiting and hiring no longer suffice in a world where the working-age population is shrinking, and the gap between available talent and job openings is widening. To shed light on this issue, we turn to recent research from the Burning Glass Institute and a fascinating conversation with Pamela Stroko about innovative solutions. Here are some of the main themes of our conversation: The Shrinking Workforce The working-age population has been steadily declining, with little to no growth. Starting in 2012, we witnessed a meager 0.5% growth in the working-age population, and this rate slowed to 0.2% from 2017 onwards. This trend is expected to persist until at least 2030, painting a grim picture […]
