What do modern workers want?

Understand what employees want from their employers in the modern age and what do companies need to do to strengthen their attraction and retention strategies.

This webinar took place on Thursday 4th, November 2021

Here is a short sample from the webinar

The webinar explores the factors influencing the career choices modern workers make. It’s based on expert-mediated analysis of why modern workers both accept job offers and resign from their roles. It will help you better understand how to improve staff engagement and reduce turnover and overall strengthen your attraction and retention strategies.

Getting ahead of these new labour market patterns is now key to both short-term performance and longer-term organisational resilience.

Survey data shows that those seeking a full return to the workplace are in the minority. Most workers prefer a mix of remote-working and office-based activity. We’re already witnessing significant staff turnover as employees refuse to compromise on post-lockdown work-life balance.

The UK labour market is currently experiencing its most significant transformation in generations. Post-Brexit skills shortages combined with a post-lockdown re-evaluation of both life and work have led to substantial business disruption as employers lose team members who are attracted by the possibility of ‘better’ elsewhere.

New workforce dynamics require closer inspection. For employers to both hire AND retain staff, it’s critical to understand the priorities of the 2020s workforce.

You’ll learn:

Why understanding the psychology of the modern labour market is intrinsic to commercial success
Why your internal audience is even more key than your external marketing audience
How to build a compelling ‘employer brand’
Why the people in your business will provide your competitive edge
How to leverage new labour market dynamics for on-going commercial success
