Now, employees have different expectations and priorities. <strong>In order to attract and retain talent, firms need to adjust the way they both hire and manage their employees.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-have-all-the-workers-gone\">Where Have All the Workers Gone?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s tight labor market is due to a number of factors, including childcare issues, ongoing fear of Covid-19, and a wave of early retirements. With worker shortages dominating the headlines (and generous employment benefits staving off money troubles) employees can afford to be choosy about which positions they accept.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the long run, this may result in a workforce better distributed among jobs according to their skills, but in the short run, it means firms are scrambling to fill positions<\/strong>, even as people are returning to work after the pandemic. And many companies are bleeding the workers they already have\u2014a record number of people (almost 4 million) quit their jobs in April of last year, looking for higher pay, better responsibilities, or the chance to redirect their careers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-solution-get-creative-in-hiring\">A Solution? Get Creative in Hiring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some employers hoped that once unemployment benefits expired, their labor problems would evaporate. However, data suggests otherwise: <strong>Studies indicate that a 10% increase in unemployment benefits results in just a 3.6% decrease in job applications<\/strong>. Most employers currently hunting for workers agree that a 3.6% increase in employees returning to work won&#8217;t be enough after the pandemic calms down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses thus may have to get creative in how they look for talent. <strong>This might mean giving more weight to skill sets rather than experience or qualifications\u2014hiring for <em>potential<\/em>, in other words, rather than <em>track record<\/em>.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, food servers often have great skills in customer service, currently one of the most in-demand jobs as people return to work after the pandemic. Firms looking to fill their customer-service positions might find success tapping the pool of waiters and bartenders who lost their jobs in 2020.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many companies are already exploring this approach. LinkedIn reported a 21% increase in job postings looking for skill sets instead of formal qualifications, and a 40% increase in positions that don\u2019t require a degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other hiring approaches that might pay off are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Hiring older workers, who were laid off in disproportionate numbers but are often far more productive than employers think.<\/li><li>Providing childcare, as women tend to be more reliable workers but are knocked out of the workforce more quickly because of childcare responsibilities.<\/li><li>Making commutes easier\u2014for hourly workers especially, commuting times can be the biggest consideration when looking for work. Schedule shifts to avoid rush hour or schedule four 10-hour shifts instead of five 8-hour shifts to cut down on commuting time.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are some challenges of returning to work after the pandemic?
