The compact has three points: I) employers will provide training for employees' current roles, II) invest in each employee's training equal to the cost of turnover for future roles within or outside the company, and III) provide tools to help employees invest in career development. It provides guidance on implementing the compact, such as understanding employees' education levels, reviewing tuition assistance policies, and ensuring internal job opportunities for skilled workers. The goal is to unlock employees' potential through skills development and build long-term loyalty.
This document discusses the importance of employee development and challenges organizations face in prioritizing it.

Entrepreneurship involves starting a new business or reviving an existing one, which requires considering questions like whether one wants to be responsible for a business, what product or service it will offer, its target market and location, and how to obtain startup capital. While entrepreneurship provides benefits like self-employment, flexibility and potentially high income, it also carries risks such as potential losses, market fluctuations, loan payments and competition. Common mistakes entrepreneurs make include using business money personally, poor staff relations, wrong investments, bad hiring decisions and not adopting new technologies.
- Attrition in the IT sector is higher due to the dynamic nature of salaries and high demand for professionals. There is more movement between companies by employees seeking better opportunities.
- Common reasons for attrition include salary hikes, promotions, lack of onsite opportunities, brand reputation, job satisfaction, facilities, work environment, pressure and work culture. High attrition costs companies time and resources to replace employees.
- Steps to reduce attrition include conducting exit interviews, recognizing employee contributions, providing feedback, opportunities for learning, addressing personal needs, open communication, ensuring job security, clarifying roles and maintaining group cohesiveness. Focusing on employee satisfaction and retention can help lower attrition rates.

There is no one right way to approach career management. Strategies for moving workers into, around, and even out of the organization have changed drastically in the past ten years and largely depend on the goals of both the worker and the company.
However, companies with effective career management initiatives have some similarities. They tend to approach career management holistically – considering more than just role descriptions and career paths – and they focus heavily on alignment with organizational goals and needs.

3) Developing a talent culture through leadership commitment, measurement, and forums for discussing talent can help ensure the right people are identified and developed for key roles.

THE SKILLS CURRENCY: UNLOCKING INTERNAL MOBILITY WITH REAL SKILLS DATAHuman Capital Media
Employers want and need employees with certain skills to stay relevant and competitive. Employees don’t have them. So what can organizations do to future proof their teams and their company?

11 Ways to Humanize the Candidate Experience
Improving the candidate experience is an ongoing priority for HR and TA leaders. Good progress has been made in areas like mobile-friendly career sites, shorter apply times and standardized interview methods.
Process improvements are important, but what candidates are telling us they really want is more communication.

It turns out that a great candidate experience has come down to meeting a few basic human needs: the chance to be heard, the satisfaction of getting a response and the feeling of being respected.
It’s time for us to take the next step in improving the candidate experience. It’s time to HUMANIZE it.
This Ideabook will inspire you to humanize the candidate experience through new strategies and technologies that enable better communication and engagement.

Recruitment plays a key role in acquiring talent to meet companies' current and future needs. The three dimensions that act as a talent filter in recruitment are the HR recruiter, corporate recruiter, and technology and trends. Technology has revolutionized recruitment by allowing companies to post jobs online and use social media and applicant tracking systems to find and evaluate candidates. Analytics can help companies assess which recruitment strategies are most effective at attracting qualified talent.

How to Build and Maintain a Premier OrganizationLucas Group
An important trend facing organizations across all industries is bridging the knowledge gap between outgoing employees and those who remain or are hired to fulfill their work. Despite a stubbornly persistent unemployment rate in the U.S., attracting and retaining people who can positively impact your company remains a considerable challenge to building and maintaining a premier organization. Triggered by Baby Boomer retirements, companies must develop systematic ways to attract the best, retain the best, and hold on to the knowledge that the best contribute to their organizations.

The Rules Do Apply: Navigating HR ComplianceAggregage
https://www.humanresourcestoday.com/frs/26903483/the-rules-do-apply--navigating-hr-compliance
HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels
• Best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective compliance programs
• Resources and strategies for staying informed about changes to labor laws, regulations, and compliance requirements
How can SMEs and startups compete with tech giants for talent?
1. How can SMEs and
startups compete with
tech giants for talent?
2. HOW DO YOU ATTRACT AND RETAIN THE
RIGHT TALENT?
For startups and SMEs, recruiting the right people is crucial yet
challenging. It’s not enough to attract and hire top talent, retaining
them is also essential.
3. COMPETITION WITH THE TECH GIANTS
The tech titans like Google and Facebook play it hard while acquiring top
talent. The tech giants not only offer money, they offer a compelling
Employee Value Proposition. The EVP includes various perks like insurances,
vacations, benefits, and mentorship.
Startups can never compete with that.
4. As of 2019, there are at least 30.7 million small businesses in the United
States. Over 1700 startups registered in 2019.
The numbers have two things to say.
One, the competition for the right talent. All these companies are trying to
attract talent and thus increasing the competition.
Two, the indirect effect of the spike in the number of start-ups is the
reduction of the talent pool.
5. CHALLENGES THAT STARTUPS AND SMES FACE?
Our own experience assessing, hiring or managing over 100k techies
gave us some valuable insights
6. Challenge #1: Lack of experience in hiring
Startups neither have the specific expertise to attract great talent, nor can
they dedicate time to manage or retain the talent. This makes talent
acquisition harder than it is.
7. Solution: Leave it to the experts
What if you could delegate your tech hiring?
You can find and hire top talent without talent acquisition teams. There are
several companies that help with tech recruitment. Some specialize in hiring
for growing startups too – companies like Crewscale can connect you with
top talent across the globe.
8. Challenge #2: Lack of competitive pay
When the demand for tech talent is high and the supply is less, the
candidates have greater bargaining power. This is a pain-point for startups –
especially if they haven’t been funded yet.
9. Solution: Offer incentives and perks
Startups can offer its unique perks too.
You can offer your talent to vest with you in the forms of stocks.
The perks could be non-monetary as well: opportunity to work on
impactful projects, flexible working hours, remote work is a great way to
attract talent too.
10. Challenge #3: Lack of recruitment methodologies
The tech giants well-defined recruitment processes and a multitude of tools
at their disposal for interviews, coding assignments, and assessments.
Startups don’t have any of these luxuries.
Testing candidates itself is such an overwhelming
challenge that you’d rather stick with the smaller
but testified talent pool among your network and
referrals.
11. Solution: Remote assessment tools
There are several tools available for tech screening assessment, and paired-
coding. Without burning a hole in your budget, you will be able to conduct
a highly effective, transparent, and systematic hiring process.
12. Challenge #4: Lack of brand value
Brand alone can line up talent
Every company that isn’t a brand has to face
this challenge. You need great employees to
become a great brand, but the candidates
prefer joining only an established brand. It’s a
chicken or egg problem.
13. Solution: Offer a Great Employee Value Proposition
Your key to compensate for the lack of a brand name is your EVP.
EVP is a term used for all the compensation (monetary or
otherwise) that a company offers to a prospective
employee. Tour EVP statement so you can communicate it
to your future employees.
14. Challenge #5: Employee Retention
Acquiring talent is not sufficient. Retaining employees is more crucial than
actually hiring them.
Studies show that 23% of new hires quit their job before
their first work anniversary.
There are several reasons that lead to early employee
turnover. The pressure and high expectations in the
startup environment one of them.
15. Solution: Great onboarding, assistance, great culture
Startups can define and shape their own culture, that’s an incredible
advantage! Preparing an excellent employee onboarding strategy is a first
step towards. In addition to onboarding, you need to offer challenging
projects that will help the career growth of employees.
16. While startups and SMEs face various challenges to hire tech talent,
they are not without solutions. The unique nature of a startup itself
can be effectively used for attracting top talent.
Run your startup to your advantage and you can undoubtedly
outrun the tech titans in the race for acquiring the right talent!
