How hard is it to find talent for your company? More importantly, how hard is it to retain them?
Eighty-four percent of executives struggle to find qualified talent in their markets, and 64% of leaders do not feel prepared to manage constant change. HR can no longer focus solely on managing people once they join a company. It must also help shape how they work, which skills they develop and what conditions will encourage them to stay.
Employees want greater attention to flexibility and well-being. What better place to start than where they work?
Asking people to adapt constantly takes a human toll
New skills, new tools and new ways of organising work all require people to adapt. In the United States, for example, 72% of companies use artificial intelligence, yet 55% still lack adequate training and resources. It is hardly surprising that 62% of workers worry their skills will not keep pace, while 63% of companies see the skills gap as a barrier to change.
Training, professional development and upskilling are becoming part of the everyday work experience that HR must help shape. As the pace of change increases, so does the focus on well-being. Companies with structured well-being programmes report up to 41% less employee turnover. Employee welfare, then, is about more than a list of benefits: it also depends on the conditions in which people work.
If 84% of executives struggle to find the skills they need in their markets, limiting recruitment to people who live near the office narrows the talent pool even further. Talent is increasingly spread across locations. Allowing people to work from different places can reduce commuting, give them a workspace closer to home when they need to focus, and bring them together when meeting in person adds real value. The workspace becomes part of the experience HR offers employees.
As teams become more geographically dispersed, the way work is organised must become more flexible too. A central office can still play an important role without being the only professional workspace available.
HR is moving from managing people to shaping how they work. And shaping work also means thinking about the spaces that make it possible.
