7 Ways To Manage a Talent Shortage
Analysts from Goldman Sachs to McKinsey are predicting a robust post-pandemic recovery. This is great news. But it also means your business needs to hire and retain talented people in a highly competitive market.
Between the rapid rollout of vaccines, the financial stimulus, and increasingly positive jobs reports, hiring is on the rise. Nearly half of the 22 million jobs lost during the early months of the pandemic have been recovered. And U.S. Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, predicts that the economy will return to pre-pandemic payroll levels by 2022
The U.S. recorded 9.3 million job openings in April, the highest since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started tracking that statistic in 2000. So, it’s really no wonder businesses of all sizes are struggling to find talent. In fact, 42% of business owners say they have job openings they can’t fill (National Federation of Independent Business).
