We knew it was coming and it certainly was logical and inevitable. Once an organization released/downsized/let go of staff, it had to increase the output of the staff that remained in place. Not only did those employees take on the responsibilities of those released, they also had to pick up new skill sets.
The attached
article explains this new focus and the impact it has on hiring.
Now, when companies say that they are not hiring the unemployed they can claim it is because the unemployed lack the skills needed for the redesigned positions.
How can you stay on top of this trend?
1. Identify new skill sets by researching positions.
2. Clarify your development needs
3. Research training opportunities
a. Community College
b. Local colleges, universities, education commissions
c. Libraries
d. Professional Groups
e. On-line learning
f. Networking groups
g. Unemployment Office
The bottom line is to anticipate this trend and proactively do something to stay on top of it. Has this happened to you?
If so, what have you done?
