CREDENTIALING: Creating Your
Competitive Edge
by Debbie Phillips, Ph.D., CPM The Quadrillion
One thing we can all agree on is that the world has changed. In the new world, our work lives and home lives have evolved, and in some cases, become more intertwined than ever before. The increase in remote work will eliminate many location-based restrictions, which will increase competition for jobs and make it easier for employers to recruit diverse talent from all around the country. Gartner’s research predicts that 48% of employees will work remotely after the pandemic, up from 30% pre-pandemic. We may be navigating a new reality and discovering innovative ways to engage and retain top-tier talent, but I would also point to the old saying, ‘the more things change, the more they stay the same.’ One tried-and-true strategy we can still count on is investing in human capital and the growth and development of our greatest asset, our people.
