HR teams manage a lot of processes. They are responsible for myriad changes and tasks, including recruitment, onboarding, offboarding, position changes, remuneration changes, performance management, leave management, and learning management and keeping employee information up-to-date. Too often, they are overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information they have to keep track of, and their chances of error and non-compliance increase with the number of manual processes they have.

Rehiring for key positions is an expensive inconvenience that most companies want to avoid: employee retention is far more preferable. But how do you stop your best people from quitting?

Imagine an alternative scenario in which the COVID-19 pandemic happened in a time before we had the internet. Spending days in a lockdown and tied up to our homes would have been significantly harder. 

Without the advanced technology we have today, we would have been completely isolated, cut off from the world and forced to find different ways.

Talent development is one of the critical components of business success and longevity as it ensures its growth and sustainability. Companies with efficient employee learning programs have an invaluable asset that allows them to differentiate themselves, which is crucial in the post-pandemic era.

In some organisations, the human element can get overlooked, while the spotlight is laser-focused on financial performance. But if people aren’t happy and there’s no open communication across all departments, sooner or later, that will likely impact the business.

In the last few decades, the world of work evolved faster than ever before, adapting to the generational shift, HR technology rise, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Nowadays, most employers are aware of the importance of their workers’ satisfaction as it impacts their productivity, performance, and the company’s bottom line.
