罗致恒富:76%英国企业转向临时招聘市场以缩小数字化技能差距

  近日,据罗致恒富的研究显示,英国76%的雇主正在将目光转向临时招聘市场以促进他们的数字化转型。

 

  对于雇主而言,临时招聘市场以具有高度专业化或特殊技能(如技术理解和变革管理)的候选人为目标,可能是缓解技能短缺的有效方法。

 

  罗致恒富表示:“数字化转型是雇主目前面临的最具挑战性的商业计划之一。当许多企业都在努力寻找合适的候选人来帮助他们消除组织内部的数字技能差距时,许多雇主都需要聘用合同工或临时雇员来满足他们的需求。”

 

  据罗致恒富的研究表明,有70%的雇主认为,在尝试实施数字化转型计划时,将长期雇员、合同制员工和临时雇员相结合最为成功。

 

  研究表明,这些员工可以通过不同的方式帮助企业完成数字化转型,其中74%的雇主通过经验丰富的临时雇员来传授知识并提升当前团队的技能,而另外75%的雇主则通过他们来管理组织内特定的数字化转型计划或项目。

 

  但是,企业对于这类员工的需求量很大,导致许多雇主难以找到合适的候选人。71%的雇主承认,为数字化转型计划中寻找经验丰富的临时雇员是一项挑战。

 

  对于具备需求技能的候选人,合同制和临时雇员职位可以使他们保持灵活性以及项目或工作计划的选择权。

 

  因此,越来越多的英国临时工选择这种工作方式,根据英国国家统计局最近的数据显示,英国只有不到25%的临时用工因为找不到全职工作而选择这种工作方式,这一数据是英国近13年来的最低水平。

 

  罗致恒富英国董事总经理Matt Weston表示:“数字化正在迅速改变工作场所。雇主持续将目光转向临时招聘市场,以改变其公司对数字化知识缺乏的状况。经验丰富的临时工具有管理数字化转型计划的潜力,并会在推动数字化转型的过程中提升现有员工的技能。”

 

  UK – BUSINESSES TURN TO TEMPORARY MARKET TO CLOSE DIGITAL SKILLS GAP

 

  (Sep.29, 2019, /staffingindustry.com/)The majority, or 76%, of employers in the UK are turning to the temporary market to aid their digital transformation efforts, according to research from Robert Half.

 

  For employers, the temporary recruitment market can be an effective way of mitigating skills shortages while targeting candidates with highly specialised or niche skill sets such as technological understanding and change management.

 

  “Digital transformation is one of the most challenging business projects facing employers,” Robert Half stated. “At a time when many are struggling to hire the right calibre of candidate to help them close the digital skills gap within their organisation, many business leaders are needing to turn to contract or temporary professionals to fill the need.”

 

  Robert Half’s research showed that 70% of employers agree that a combination of permanent, interim and temporary employees is most successful when trying to implement digital transformation initiatives.

 

  These employees can be used in different ways with the research showing that 74% of them use experienced interim professionals to transfer knowledge and upskill existing teams, while a further 75% use them to manage specific digital transformation initiatives or projects within their organisation.

 

  Such professionals are however in high demand, leading many employers to struggle to find the right candidates. Seven in ten, or 71%, admitted that it was challenging to find experienced interim staff for digital transformation initiatives.

 

  For candidates with in-demand skill sets, temporary and interim roles can allow them to maintain flexibility and the choice of project or programme of work.

 

  As such, an increasing proportion of the UK’s temporary workers are doing so out of choice, with recent Office for National Statistics data showing less than 25% doing so because they could not find a full-time position, the lowest level in nearly 13 years.

 

  Matt Weston, Managing Director of Robert Half UK, commented: “Digitalisation is transforming the workplace at a rapid pace. Employers continue to turn to the temporary market in an effort to rectify the lack of digital knowledge in their company. Experienced interim workers have the potential to manage digital transformation projects, often upskilling existing staff in the process.”
