Have a terrific Tuesday, Insider Fam! Here's part 2: Tech talent say they’re job hunting amid concerns about layoffs, HR Dive 10.18.24, by C. Crist, part 2 Notably, tech pros with 5-10 years of experience were more likely to apply for internal roles instead of outside roles, which highlights the need for companies to invest in upskilling, Indeed said.   In August, tech companies announced the most job cuts in 20 months, with a focus on adopting artificial intelligence and automation tools, according to a report from a Challenger, Gray & Christmas report. Overall hiring intentions fell to the lowest year-to-date total since data tracking began in 2005, reflecting economic uncertainty and shifting market dynamics, the firm’s SVP said.   But in mid-2024, 95% of tech leaders reported challenges finding skilled talent and nearly two-thirds reported a skills gap in their department, according to a Robert Half report. In response, HR pros need defined hiring and retention plans in place to ensure talent challenges don’t put projects and priorities at risk, the report found.   In an ongoing tight labor market, employees now expect their employers to invest in their well-being, according to a report from The Conference Board. However, employee-reported levels of well-being have stagnated, which means HR leaders may need to adopt a different approach to boost productivity and retention. This could mean linking well-being initiatives to C-suite priorities such as leadership development, culture reinforcement and talent acquisition and retention, the report found.    #careercoach #coaching #podcast #women #womeninbusiness #business  #womenempowerment #womenatwork #womencommunity #blackintech #blackwomeninbusiness #blackwomenintech #blacklinkedin #latinamerica #latinasinbusiness #latinasintech #latinasinstem #latinas #womenandgirls #womenhealth #womenandgirlsinscience #womenhealthcare
