Pay attention and get better at every crucial stage of employee and talent management. 

Highlights of the New Normal in Human Capital Space Webinar To Go Through For Better Recruitment Tips:

 

Shifting interest in skillset post COVID

Associating to the new normal situation, Charu highlighted the evolving demand for certain key skills that would be sought after by organisations.

  • With more organisations embracing remote work culture, virtual team collaboration has become imminent.
  • Managing distributed teams comes with their own set of challenges. Fostering productive team collaboration would be of utmost significance.
  • Working at home requires great organizational skills and self-discipline. Establishing a sense of discipline to draw boundaries from office work and household chores will be vital.

Company outlook towards cost management

Varindra shared the new models the companies might adapt to where remote work culture scenes may become the new normal in human capital space.

  • Companies will have a rapid shift of focus on the deliverables rather than employee attendance.
  • Organizations would require to centre their goals towards assigning best remote support towards a project rather than keeping track of attendance or headcount mappings.
  • Organisations would adapt to smaller local spaces that would hold a limited workforce that essentially cannot carry work from a remote scene.
  • Shifting from huge office spaces would also help to mitigate costs for organisations.
  • Certain sectors like the manufacturing are facing an imminent revenue hit essentially cause of the fact that their work structure cannot be carried out on a remote basis.

Change in leadership and administration post COVID

Charu helps us walk through the evolving nature of how organisations are making operational changes in their management and leadership.

  • Embracing technology in terms of Payroll processing and other operational functions would be a progressive change that companies eventually adapt to.
  • Leaders should be prepared with skills and policies to support their teams. This might involve being more flexible about the hours in which employees work. Things are much more fluid now, and managers need to lay a certain level of trust on their employees.
  • Resetting of policies and processes that suit the remote workforce would be the new norm.
  • The employer and employee would need to get on board with the new Adhoc changes in terms of parameters used to evaluate the performance in this new ecosystem.

Unprecedented measures adapted by the HR post COVID

Varindra shares a list of key recruitment metrics and collaboration undertaken by the HRs across the industries to sustain business continuity amidst COVID crisis.

CHRO’s plans for abundant talent in market post-COVID

  • With news of hiring freeze being implemented across industries, Charu points out that there is a higher possibility of encountering abundant talent in the market post COVID.
  • But then it is highly questionable if this talent would have enough relevancy to the current job market.
  • She also attributes the current layoffs to the lack of relevant talent that could not keep up with the evolving nature of work.
