Pureprofile Global Head of Talent and Culture, Michelle Mowle states: “As the talent war continues to rage on, companies must adopt an employee-centric mindset in order to be the hottest workplace in town. Employers need to start tailoring company culture and infrastructure to support their valuable talent rather than hoping employees will bend to suit the status quo (that may be outdated).
“If a fundamental shift in company culture has not already happened, then you’re behind the curve. Employees want a connected culture with a personalised work plan and adaptive learning opportunities to support rapid career growth whilst being able to work anywhere, anytime. Companies need to respond by prioritising outputs over employee location, creating a customised workflow for everyone instead of a standard list of duties and having ongoing conversations about professional development instead of waiting for an annual review.
“Contemporary leadership and updated talent management practices that embrace the needs of a modern workforce are essential if an organisation is to win the talent war.”
