The labor market has adapted to an interesting talent management scheme, where the ability of a company to meet new business objectives transcends.
A study published by IDG Research Services found that the new priorities in companies after COVID-19 are the transformation towards digital, mainly.
Within Mexico, it was estimated that in a single year, 2020, the percentage of unemployed adults due to COVID-19 went from 29 percent in April 2020 to 49 percent in August of that same year, according to PQR Planning Quant.
A study designed by Oracle reveals figures on the impact that COVID-19 had on the labor market, such as the 20 percent contraction of hours worked throughout Latin America and a figure that added 26 million people who lost their jobs in the region because of this freak.
The effect on talent that Oracle measured in the recently projected series of studies reminds us that human resource management is a priority in organizations today.
Having these insights at hand helps to rethink a talent management strategy, to think about key resources, through which professionals can be better involved in the labor market, in times of recovery, where the expectation is set in new normal schemes.
TALENT IN CONTINGENCY
The impact of the health contingency on the labor market accelerated digitization and habits such as home office, for those who were able to continue offering jobs and for the talent that was able to continue to be employed. There are figures of the impact left by this phenomenon.
In others figures projected by Oraclewhere it reveals that seven out of 10 jobs created today have been informal vacancies, which have not managed to replace the positions that were lost in the health contingency.
Equity in the vacancies that are still in force is another issue that affects the labor market, as a consequence of the health contingency, since it is noted that only 32 percent of women are in key positions such as big data and artificial intelligence; 20 per cent of women are in engineering positions and there are only 14 per cent of job openings in internet services occupied by women.
Despite the critical insights identified by the Google study, there are also trends identified as the most in-demand positions in software development such as JavaScript, at 78 percent; JavaScript Ember, 67 percent; Objective-C IOS, 63 percent; JavaScript Vue, 49 percent and Java Android, 44 percent.
ADVANCEMENTS IN TALENT
Given the great pain that the health contingency has left, there are also very encouraging insights, which warn of the changes that companies assume, to innovate the current work environment.
In the CIO COVID-19 Impact Study I know I ask talent what were the main priorities in the CEO of their companies, to face the health contingency. In the study they agreed on a 37 percent each one, that was leading the digital transformation of both the business and the activities carried out in it and that they sought to improve the conditions in the remote work experience.
Within this same study, it was also found what the priorities were in the new business initiatives imposed on the organizations and it was found that the 62 percent he saw a priority in the efficiency of operations; the 56 percentin the transformation of current business processes and a 55 percent in improving the user experience.
There is an interesting approach in the labor market due to the health contingency and this has motivated a reassessment of the digital resource, due to the impact it has had both on the industry and on the way talent can perform in it.
That said, key resources have been established in this market, such as those related to remote work experience, essential to guarantee recommendations that help reduce the risk of contagion or the adaptation of technology to achieve new ways of performing a business, such as communication through video calls, for example.
