In a world that is forever changed, organisations have had to think differently about almost every aspect of how they do business. Talent engagement and retention has been heavily impacted by global forces – bringing the criticality of people performance into the spotlight.

But whilst we now understand the importance of an engaged and loyal team, we also face new challenges including the way people like to work, collaborate and contribute, combined with a labour market that is falling short on the skills and specialisations we need.  It’s a conundrum many businesses are not sure how to approach.

In the tech industry, there has been a significant increase in demand for specialised skills with the acceleration of digital transformation.  We know that the current pipeline of talent simply cannot keep up with the pace at which jobs are being vacated or created and the Tech Council of Australia has forecast Australia will need 1 million people in tech jobs by 2025, meaning around 260,000 more people will need to enter the Australian tech workforce in that time!

So how do we approach this problem?

It’s a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach. The modern workplace begins with a rethink of workforce design; to achieve a commercially smart approach that combines flexibility, performance and quality into their strategy. Whilst some business may be uncomfortable with thinking outside the square, other organisations are already leveraging global talent, partnering to meet their workforce needs and rethinking their people frameworks.
