HR Tech Quote-of-the-week!
Layoffs due to COVD-19 were mainly due to the realization that their daily business could not be completed, and revenues suffered as a result. In hindsight, the best advice as a company begins to reshape their team would be to look for where there is overlap. The ability to stretch key responsibilities and to minimize overhead will be paramount. My advice is simple. Look for candidates that have the ability to bring an additional component to a role than what you are looking for. This means, try to find candidates whose experience can be extended in other areas of your company due to a more diverse background of experience or skills. The goal should always be to find talent that can grow out of a position and into another as your companies needs grow; allowing you to promote from within.

HR Tech QnA with the Expert
The first thing businesses need to understand is that their employees will all have different ways of adjusting to the new “normal.” Some employees might transition fairly seamlessly, but many others will struggle to develop a routine and produce the same levels of productivity that they had before. And that’s okay. Businesses have to be flexible during these times to make sure that employees can take care of their children and their families — and themselves. They also have to make sure they’re supporting their employees as best they can, by doing things like providing the right resources and support.
