A big change in 2022

HR team: squeeze or expand in 2022

More remote teams means more connect will be required. Human resource departments will now need to hire more people to make sure the connect is alive and kicking, lest we lose key talent.

Great resignation a disguise of great movement

We are witnessing an artificial demand-supply disruption situation at the moment. This is because of the fact that 99 out of 100 organisations are looking to take their businesses to digital platforms. Hence, there is a lot of business in the market and not many people available to take up the roles thrown up by this digitisation.

Even in our organisation, when we were looking to hire IT talent, there were innumerable hassles. People had multiple offers in hand and the compensations they were getting were also shocking to say the least.

‘The Great Resignation’ is certainly only restricted to the IT space. I expect this bubble to burst in one or one-and-a-half year’s time. The entire ‘digital push’ is running on steroids.
