Employability
Increasing talent shortage
Due to the demographic situation and the digital structural changes, it is becoming increasingly difficult for employers to find the skilled workers they are looking for on the external market and to recruit them in a timely manner. “Hire & fire” is not only expensive, but also dangerous, as depending on the profile, there may not be enough skilled workers available in the Swiss labour market. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important for employers to retain their employees, continuously develop their employability and increase the content and personal agility of employees in order to continuously adapt their employee profile to the highly dynamic business and company requirements.
Requirement for increasing agility
The increasing dynamism in the business and market environment leads to continuous change and higher agility of companies. As a result, the classic HR development approach is too static and no longer effective. Target profiles, competence needs and development goals are constantly changing, which is why long-term competence development strategies quickly become obsolete and outdated. Therefore, employers are increasingly focusing on promoting employee mobility and agility. Internal mobility and flexibility in the workplace are crucial. Employees are flexibly deployed where they can add the most value in the company. Their profiles and skills must be constantly compared with current tasks and operational requirements. Internal mobility and agility thus replace traditional personnel development.
