No, not &#8220;bloody mary&#8221; or &#8220;Macbeth&#8221; or even the dreaded &#8220;performance review&#8221;.\n\nThe word &#8220;skills&#8221; absolutely terrifies hiring managers, executives, and owners all the same. You might be asking why skills?\n\nUsually, the idea of skills brings to mind the most engaging and in-demand skills which are meant to aid recruiters in finding suitable job applicants for their business.\n\nBut underneath these layers hides an ugly revelation that could be crippling your business \u2014 the war on talent.\n<h2 id=\"the-hidden-truth-of-the-job-market\">The hidden truth of the job market<\/h2>\nThe scary truth of the matter is that the war on talent isn&#8217;t some newly developed term. In fact, it&#8217;s cost businesses for over two decades now.\n\nThe war on talent origins can be found in a 1997 McKinsey comprehensive study where they described the &#8220;war on talent&#8221; as a coming talent shortage that will become a critical driver of corporate performance and a strategic business challenge.\n\nThe main finding of this report was that it urged companies to prioritise talent management strategies relating to recruitment, retention, and employee development.\n\nHowever as the economy cooled off near the turn of the century, many assumed the war for talent was over.\n\nLooking at today&#8217;s landscape, they were dead wrong. Companies are having to devise creative and imaginative hiring practices whilst also tackling a far greater <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/remote-work-report\/\">challenge of retaining old employees<\/a>.\n\nAccording to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/gx\/en\/ceo-survey\/2019\/Theme-assets\/reports\/talent-trends-report.pdf\">PwC report<\/a>, Talent Trends 2019: Upskilling for a digital world, over 79% of global CEOs say they are &#8216;extremely&#8217; or &#8216;somewhat&#8217; concerned about hiring candidates with the right skills.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41152\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/giphy-1.gif\" width=\"480\"\/>\n\nFor small businesses, there is even greater concern that the war on talent could have devastating consequences.\n\nIf you&#8217;re recruiting in an SME, the salaries offered aren&#8217;t always as high, and resources and expert advice are limited. This further continues the cycle of taking control away from recruiters to acquire talent who can solve problems for businesses.\n\nHowever, resources such as <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/hiring-interview-checklists\/\">91爆料&#8217;s free interview checklist<\/a> can be used to make a strong first impression that can attract your ideal candidate to your business.\n<h2 id=\"why-the-war-for-talent\">Why the war for talent?<\/h2>\nThe war on talent is a complex, complicated cycle that has puzzled chief executives and global economists for two decades. However, there are some key drivers that have fueled the war on talent throughout this period.\n\nLet&#8217;s break it down some more and identify the key factors causing the war on talent. These are:\n<ul>\n<li>Talent shortage &#8211; simply put, employers and executives believe there is a skill gap and that the skill gap is directly related to rapid change in the job market. By the time graduates leave higher education, the skills they have learned could be rendered obsolete. There is a supply shortage of quality high skilled labour, and it&#8217;s only going to get worse.<\/li>\n<li>Changing demographics &#8211; Millennials are the future. In a report, by 2025 it is expected that over 75% of the job market will be Millennials. This presents a problem. A rapid change in job turnover from Baby Boomers to Millennials and Gen Z will require businesses to increase financial resources for training and acquisition, which might leave some businesses struggling to find suitable replacements in a rapid timeframe.<\/li>\n<li>Talent competition changes &#8211; in the past, organisations only faced competition based on location, direct rivals, and seniority. But now companies in different sectors must compete with each other as the gig economy allows much greater freedom of labour mobility.<\/li>\n<li>Business turbulence &#8211; almost 90% of the Fortune 500 have disappeared since the original list was created in 1955. Competition for these businesses was typically large conglomerate businesses. Now anyone can design a unique business idea that can topple any business giant. Companies such as Netflix and Uber have reinvented how companies do business and what consumers can expect from them. Businesses can now only see this competition when it&#8217;s directly in their face, and by that point, it&#8217;s too late.<\/li>\n<li>Psychology &#8211; workers are getting smarter. No longer are the days where a pay increase, perks, or gimmicks can entice workers to stay. Businesses have adopted practices in organisational science to learn how workers tick. Businesses are having to design workspaces, new captivating interview methods, and even new HR tactics to convince employees to stay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-compete-with-this-ugly-giant\">How to compete with this ugly giant<\/h2>\nThe war on talent can be seen as the elephant in the room for many businesses. Issuing changes to how a business operates can be a tricky process. Employers must walk a fine line between adaptability and staying true to their identity in the business world as consumer preferences change with them.\n\nHowever, some businesses have found success in combating the war on talent such as Discover Financial Services.\n\nA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luminafoundation.org\/resource\/talent-investments-pay-off-discover-financial-services\/\">study from 2010 to 2013<\/a> found that Discover&#8217;s tuition reimbursement program produced an overall 144% return on investment as a result of avoided talent management costs due to higher rates of promotion, transfers, and retention and lower rates of absenteeism.\n\nEmployees participating in the program received average annual wage increases that were at least 41% greater than non-participating employees while helping Discover save $10.9 million.\n\nThe key principle to remember is talent management, not talent acquisition. What do we mean by that? It&#8217;s simple.\n\nBusinesses shouldn&#8217;t solely focus on spending valuable resources on talent acquisition but rather on how to better manage current and future talent.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41158\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/giphy-5.gif\" width=\"480\"\/>\n\nThere are three boxes that every business should look to in an effort to combat talent and skill shortages. These boxes focus on areas of:\n<ul>\n<li>Dedicate more efforts to employee engagement<\/li>\n<li>Give employees flexibility<\/li>\n<li>Focus on work-life balance and employee well-being<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhy are these the areas businesses should focus on? It&#8217;s simple really. Employees expect them. No longer are these luxuries offered as once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, no, they are the expectation, not the exception.\n\nStudies time and time again have proved that <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/employee-engagement-guide\/\">engaged employees among others, are more productive<\/a>, have fewer absence days and generate higher profits.\n\nHowever, something of interest to note is that 87% of organisations consider culture and engagement as their top challenge, and less than half of them believe that they have good enough programs in place to engage and retain employees.\n\nBusinesses also can struggle with creating a well-designed well-being program that benefits both employer and employee.\n\nSo, what can you do to check off these boxes and recruit and maintain talent for your business? 91爆料&#8217;s Professional Employment Organisation (PEO) Employer of Record (EoR) service has got you covered.\n\nLearn more about hiring employees through a PEO in:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/hire-employees\/australia\/\">Australia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/hire-employees\/new-zealand\/\">New Zealand<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/hire-employees\/united-kingdom\/\">United Kingdom<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/hire-employees\/singapore\/\">Singapore<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/hire-employees\/philippines\/\">Philippines<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/hire-employees\/netherlands\/\">Netherlands<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/hire-employees\/indonesia\/\">Indonesia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/hire-employees\/canada\/\">Canada<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/hire-employees\/united-states\/\">United States<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"how-can-a-peo-help-combat-the-war-on-talent\">How can a PEO help combat the war on talent?<\/h2>\n91爆料&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/products\/employer-of-record\/\">Employer of Record (EoR) service is a Professional Employer Organisation (PEO)<\/a> and can help you easily create and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/peo-guide\/\">manage a global workforce right from your home country<\/a>.
