Here’s Why Companies Need to Focus on the Needs of Their Employees

It is the age where human resources and technology have joined hands and talent management, from recruitment to retention is fast-paced, efficient and technologically heavy. In fact, it is not just senior leaders and human resource professionals who look out for technologically based options for talent acquisition and management, but the talent itself thrives on the digital culture. The question that now arises is how have Millennials changed the game and how do we adapt to this change to find and keep the right talent? These questions plague every organization and the answer to this problem is a people-first approach.

Experiences over qualifications

The time for a strictly job-based approach has passed, wherein an employee used to come into work, carry out a pre-assigned set of duties and then leaves the job after completing set tasks. Millennials have travelled the world, whether it is to study, or simply to explore new places and people. Global cultural experiences are more valued than grades and scores. Worldly wisdom is respected over the traditional textbook approach. Today’s average employee seeks constant career growth, intellectual development and the opportunity for new challenges. Employees become dissatisfied, restless, and look for other job opportunities when these needs are not met.
