Human Resources (HR) is a complex profession (but that’s what you like about it, right?) and the challenges you face come from many directions. Some of those challenges, like tight labor markets and economic volatility, are beyond your control. Others may arise perennially but can be affected by how you approach them. As a seasoned HR professional and the Chief People and Culture Officer at Achievers, I understand the challenges that come with being an HR leader.

I ran across an article recently on Medium titled “ Forget STEM, We Need MESH ”. It’s a thought provoking read. The author spends a fair amount of time kinda bashing the renewed emphasis on STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and math). His point is that all the talk about STEM is at the expense of MESH education (media literacy, ethics, sociology, and history).

U.S. unemployment is at a 50-year low, meaning there are more open roles than available, qualified talent to fill them. Because of this tight labor market, your team needs to be more strategic than ever before when it comes to measuring and improving your hiring efforts. . Many employers don’t have a standardized hiring process in place and, as a result, have no way of knowing whether or not their hiring efforts are working – and what needs to be improved.

After years of facing the global pandemic, we are now struggling with a new problem: inflation. No one could have predicted the impact of inflation on employee benefits and how it affects both employees and employers. Employers are now trying to maintain or lower the cost of benefits while competing for talent in a competitive and tight labor market, but the rising costs of consumer goods and healthcare make it extremely difficult to consider increasing their benefit offerings.
