It’s no surprise that in the last few years employers have witnessed a tumultuous job market. It became evident that an important aspect of remaining powerful against competitors is having a strong workforce and talented staff with the best skills and knowledge in the field.
This became increasingly challenging as employee sentiments and attitudes towards work changed, many skilled employees retiring from work altogether. The job market, which employers had once felt they had all the power in, had shifted dramatically, and experts started to refer to what they were seeing as a ‘war for talent’ - emphasising the struggle businesses were having to adequately fill roles.
