Report #4 - PeoplePowerPlanning: An Emerging Recruitment Model
The fourth report is a whitepaper looking at emerging
recruitment alternatives. Many high impact businesses are caught
in a “war for talent.” High impact employers are
finding it challenging to keep the talent they’ve got, and
also find the qualified employees they need for their quickly
growing business. While many are using a blend of labor —
employees, contract employees, consultants, and
outsourcing— few are optimizing these opportunities. A new
strategy of handling the labor needs of high growth businesses
is emerging. This strategy calls for a blended use of
traditional employment and independent workers, and provides an
agile workforce with the ability to respond to changing business
needs, resulting in the best use of PeoplePower™. By using
a more strategic approach called PeoplePowerPlanning™,
high impact companies can decrease employee turnover, increase
effective management practices, manage their labor force more
effectively, and maximize their agility in changing business
environments.
