AI AND DATA ANALYTICS
COVID-19 , and the subsequent restrictions that came with it , caused a number of people to reassess what is important and question if they are happy in their role . In the wake of the pandemic , many organisations are now grappling with issues around staff retention , particularly as the Great Resignation manifests itself in workplaces across industries .
Many prospective employees are now looking for greater flexibility affording them a better work-life balance . To respond to the changing needs , businesses and leaders are responsible for identifying ways to incentivise potential employees to not just join their teams , but to remain in them long-term .
“ Businesses must accommodate increasingly varied , complicated employee needs , integrating hybrid working to draw on the benefits of both physical and virtual workspaces ,” comments Eliane Lugassy , CEO and Co-Founder of Witco , an app provider enabling the most ideal work experience , enabling people to perform at their best .
The Great Resignation has created a healthy employee market with a wealth of opportunities , meaning employers have to be more creative if they want to attract the right talent . Predictive analytics may be the key to overcoming challenges faced by employers as they look to onboard new team members .
“ Leaders cannot adequately understand the needs of present and future employees without data and the communication tools to act on it ,” explains Lugassy .
“ Communication breakdowns through lockdown reminded us that , for hybrid working models to work , we must make the most of the time we have together in the office and respond as appropriately as we can to a remote team in order to keep them onside . If we are to do this successfully , we must use technology to understand and respond to changing workspaces ,” she adds .
