The new revolution after Covid and what it means for hiring staff moving forward

The landscape of the workplace has changed and so has the way we hire staff for the future

After lockdowns impacted the workplace globally, companies across Australia have seen many employees not returning to the workplace.

Instead staff have nestled in and become accustomed to the new workplace. The home

Although initially it had its teething problems, employers boasting a large workforce have seen a many employees get comfortable being able to work from home and keeping safe while doing so.

While Covid 19 has negatively impacted the global economy, it has given rise to new opportunities for employees to not only work from home but also make money in other markets.

Starting a “side hustle” has gained momentum and employees are getting creative increasing their revenue streams and ditching the 9-5

While some of the side hustles being discovered are indeed profitable, most however require just as much effort as working for a salary.

We will inevitably see the return to work for most employees but data is showing that this return will be a slow and ground out process

While the economy recovers from the impacts of the virus, financial markets will also recover over time and this will bring back a new norm for the working class.

While larger corporations had already implemented a work from home strategy. Small and large businesses were thrown into the deep end having to adjust to a workforce being setup remotely.

And managing a remote workforce will always have its challenges

A shift in the way we conduct business means that recruitment agencies and sourcing talent has had to adapt to flexible work environments.

The “Zoom” workforce is now in full swing

We relied so heavily on communication software throughout 2020 and 2021 that its given rise to multiple platforms. Adapting to these platforms and utilising them for the future will be crucial

Our hiring process has also adapted to communications software. Meaning we are sourcing remote talent for a global workforce from a single location.

Recruitment agencies such as Labour For Hire has become a global agency within a matter f months. To hire new staff we are not limited to location or reach.

There will be many positives that will come with having a remote workforce. Positives such as decreased overheads and utilities. However there will be many drawbacks until we can completely rely on managing employees remotely

Adapting to changing environments and social trends has never been more important

If agencies and organisations are to thrive in the new working landscape adapting is critical

Our agency is now hiring new staff for a variety of industries including customer service, call centre and technical services in new unique ways

We are also sourcing talent through new channels, giving us a head start in finding the best and brightest for organisations not only in Australia but around the world
