Exploring values, equity, sustainability, and attraction and retention in a changing world
Recent and current global developments have led to a change in the social contract between employee and employer. Employers must now play a much bigger role in aligning their values with talent in order to attract and retain them - but what are these values and why do they matter?
A free whitepaper published by HRD in partnership with Randstad explores how employers can engage with talent in the current market and provides insights from comprehensive Randstad studies.
In the past, we separated our work lives from our personal lives, leaving our true selves at home when we went to work. However, quick access to information and a rise in social consciousness have altered this paradigm.
Additionally, the plethora of job opportunities available to in-demand talent has given rise to that’ talent’s ability to seek out workplaces that are aligned with their values and career aspirations, says Randstad in the whitepaper.
Employers who understand this and adapt to these changing dynamics are far better positioned to attract and retain top talent in this highly competitive market.
Fostering engagement, well-being
By embracing equity, offering skill development and prioritising sustainability, companies can cultivate an attractive work environment that fosters employee engagement, well-being, and a sense of purpose, says Randstad.
This whitepaper explores the intersection of work and personal life, the impact of technology, and the focus on DEI, sustainability and ESG in shaping the modern workplace and covers the following topics:
- The impact of technology on how it makes employees feel about their job stability, work environment and career future
- The disparity in learning & development between genders and ages to attain career achievements
- The increasing interest in working in sustainable jobs to fulfil a purpose
- The what’s and how’s of inclusivity to overcome discrimination and create opportunities for growth
