26 EDUCATION AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT
Preparing to attract, develop and retain talent for a New Normal and business growth – a golden opportunity for human resources Mathias Reindl and Marc Deschamps HansenBeck™ observes market challenges that employees and organizations face to survive and continue to remain competitive after the global Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. As many businesses are now coming out of Covid-19 crisis mode, they find themselves entering recovery and growth. We’ve found in our conversations with human resources (HR) experts and leaders that, in order to gain and sustain recovery and growth, it’s of the utmost importance to strategically attract, develop and retain employees. At the same time, when talking with employees attending our leadership or sales training and development initiatives, we hear that they’re concerned about the way businesses underestimate and underrate employee challenges (i.e., mental health, well-being etc.) and needs, individually and collectively. How has this happened, and what consequences can this have, both for employees and businesses? To attract and retain talent, post-pandemic, organisations must come to the realisation that they should simultaneously address an individual’s, their business’, and the collective needs to develop more proactively.
