18 months ago we're in the midst of the now infamously-named dark times of our lives, (Global Financial Crisis for those of you who have just peered out from under a rock), and everyone was panicking about job retrenchments, pay cuts and unemployment figures, depressing economy, and the next, 18-20 months past, we're hearing about the skills shortage again.
Do we have a forecasting tool to forecast (structured) or do we need an astrologer, (quizzical), in about 18-20 months, countries rolling in loop, some coming back...or atleast showing some sign and some going down.......but future for payrise lies in your skill set.
Past :
It wasn't long ago that employers were sweetening deals all over the place and importing skilled professionals from overseas in order to fill jobs that were going begging because of the booming economy.
Present
Then, the GFC kicked in and everything went back to boringly normal; no lurks, no perks, you were lucky to have a job.
And ... we're back! to past in future.
Future
So basically, it's not time yet to be extending your hand in the hope that an extra frills will cross your palm at the end of each week, but the current future's a little rosier,/ and little damper, at least (for now) in terms of recognition and keeping your job.
For employers, the need to retain staff is as important as it's always been,, but you should be wanted, and skilled, and knowledgeable, to avoid the extra costs involved in employing new staff.
But finding which skill will be in short supply in future and which skill in abundance, is the challenge.
There is one skill that will be shortage in future .........astrologer
Do have a macro level HR Tool for knowing shortage of skills, in advance? Yes or No?
Or ar we going to play yo-yo on short supply
We come to know teachers are short supply in US, we start teachers course, there is short supply in masons in Saudi Arabia, we turn our head towards that direction. Do we have skill shortage forecasting tool to forecast future skill shortage?
or the infamous demand-supply system will work for future, we will not be able to predict shortage before shortage?
