The impact of the pandemic on labour proved to be stronger than predicted. As new trends and work models emerged, <strong>employer<\/strong>&#8211;<strong>employee<\/strong> <strong>relations<\/strong> <strong>were reshaped<\/strong>. It has also <strong>deteriorated<\/strong> the <a href=\"https:\/\/espa.io\/en\/c\/health-medication-social-welfare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>mental<\/strong> <strong>health<\/strong><\/a> and <strong>well-being<\/strong> of <strong>workers<\/strong> globally.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>In terms of trends for 2023, Adecco highlights the following issues:<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-&#x3AD;&#x3BB;&#x3BB;&#x3B5;&#x3B9;&#x3C8;&#x3B7;-&#x3C4;&#x3B1;&#x3BB;&#x3AD;&#x3BD;&#x3C4;&#x3C9;&#x3BD;-&#x3BA;&#x3B1;&#x3B9;-&#x3B1;&#x3BD;&#x3AC;&#x3B3;&#x3BA;&#x3B7;-&#x3B3;&#x3B9;&#x3B1;-&#x3B1;&#x3BD;&#x3B1;&#x3B2;&#x3AC;&#x3B8;&#x3BC;&#x3B9;&#x3C3;&#x3B7;-&#x3B4;&#x3B5;&#x3BE;&#x3B9;&#x3BF;&#x3C4;&#x3AE;&#x3C4;&#x3C9;&#x3BD;\"><strong>1. Talent shortage and need for skills upgrading<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>This is the <strong>most important issue of concern to all businesses<\/strong>, regardless of their sector. The <strong>difficulty<\/strong> in <strong>finding talented executives<\/strong> is not a new phenomenon. But the <strong>problem<\/strong> got much <strong>worse<\/strong> during the <strong>pandemic<\/strong> <strong>years<\/strong>. Many <strong>workers<\/strong> decided to <strong>change<\/strong> their <strong>sector of<\/strong> <strong>activity<\/strong>, creating <strong>major<\/strong> <strong>reorganisations<\/strong> in organisations and businesses. There is also a difficulty in <strong>retaining<\/strong> <strong>talented<\/strong> <strong>human<\/strong> <strong>resources<\/strong>. <strong>Companies<\/strong> try to <strong>reduce<\/strong> the talent <strong>drain<\/strong> by <strong>continuous<\/strong> <strong>training<\/strong> to upgrade the skills of employees (upskilling).<\/p>\n\n<p>The <strong>labour<\/strong> <strong>market<\/strong> has not <strong>recover<\/strong> yet <strong>completely<\/strong> from the turbulence brought about by the <strong>pandemic<\/strong>. At the same time the <strong>ejection<\/strong> of <strong>inflation<\/strong> makes the a <strong>less favourable<\/strong><strong>macroeconomic<\/strong> <strong>environment<\/strong>. Therefore, in order to <strong>equip<\/strong> the <strong>businesses<\/strong> vis-\u00e0-vis the the <strong>risks<\/strong> posed by the the <strong>impact<\/strong> of <strong>inflation<\/strong> in the labour market, it should <strong>adopt<\/strong> a <strong>clear<\/strong> <strong>talent<\/strong> <strong>retention<\/strong> <strong>strategy<\/strong> with strong incentives for their employees.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Changing the leadership model to deal with tacit resignation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Upgrading<\/strong> <strong>skills<\/strong> is <strong>not<\/strong> just about the <strong>workers<\/strong> in a company. It also concerns the <strong>leadership team<\/strong>, which is the team responsible for <strong>development of<\/strong> the <strong>company<\/strong>. As well as for the <strong>maintenance of<\/strong> the <strong>talented<\/strong> <strong>human<\/strong> <strong>resources<\/strong>. Businesses should <strong>create<\/strong> but also to <strong>communicate<\/strong> in a clear way to their employees an <strong>ambitious<\/strong> <strong>vision<\/strong> that will offer <strong>prospects<\/strong> and <strong>development<\/strong> <strong>opportunities<\/strong> to their people. Especially <strong>younger employees<\/strong> want to <strong>feel<\/strong> <strong>important<\/strong> in an organisation. Enjoy the <strong>respect<\/strong> and <strong>appreciation<\/strong> of their employer. At the same time they wish to <strong>protect themselves<\/strong> from <strong>stressful<\/strong> <strong>situations<\/strong>. Situations leading to <strong>burnout<\/strong> and phenomena such as <strong>Quiet Quitting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Providing development opportunities for human resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The <strong>need to continuously upgrade the skills<\/strong> of human resources on a large scale <strong>is a huge challenge<\/strong>, which <strong>most<\/strong> <strong>employers<\/strong> <strong>have not put on their agenda<\/strong> despite the multiple benefits it brings to the growth of any business. This is evidenced by the findings of the Adecco Group&#8217;s Global Workforce of the Future survey, where the <strong>prospect of career progression was the third most common reason for an employee to change jobs<\/strong>, behind only the level of pay and work-life balance. If one takes into account the fact that the same survey showed that <strong>27% of employees are considering changing jobs<\/strong>, <strong>the training opportunities (upskilling and reskilling)<\/strong> that the employer will provide to employees, along with the prospects for career development, will determine whether or not talented executives will stay.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Upgrading the role of the Head of HR<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The <strong>criticality<\/strong> but also the <strong>complexity<\/strong> of <strong>talent<\/strong> <strong>management<\/strong> makes the <strong>role<\/strong> of <strong>Head of Human Resources<\/strong> increasingly <strong>important<\/strong>. Already from the <strong>years<\/strong> of <strong>pandemic<\/strong>, the <strong>responsibilities of<\/strong> the <strong>HR manager<\/strong> in a company <strong>have increased significantly<\/strong>, with the result that both <strong>managers and Board members<\/strong> consider the <strong>skills<\/strong> of the <strong>Head of HR<\/strong> very <strong>important<\/strong> for the growth of a company. This is confirmed by a Harvard Business Review survey showing that <strong>when a CEO level position opens up<\/strong> in a company, the <strong>Lead<\/strong> <strong>Human Resources<\/strong> <strong>should be among the main candidates<\/strong> because the skills of attracting &amp; retaining talent and cultivating a supportive culture are very important for the strategic development of the business.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Sustainable human resources management strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The process of attracting and retaining talent, taking care of the psychosomatic health of employees and the <strong>overall<\/strong> <strong>human<\/strong> <strong>resource<\/strong> <strong>management<\/strong> <strong>strategy<\/strong> should be linked to the the <strong>ability of<\/strong> the company to create <strong>value<\/strong> with <strong>sustainable<\/strong> <strong>way<\/strong>. In this context, employers should ensure that <strong>exemplary<\/strong> <strong>management of<\/strong> their people at all levels, from the <strong>attracting<\/strong> <strong>new<\/strong> <strong>workers<\/strong> until the the <strong>retention of<\/strong> <strong>competent<\/strong> <strong>staff<\/strong> and the <strong>cultivating<\/strong> a <strong>corporate<\/strong> <strong>culture<\/strong> to <strong>promoting<\/strong> <strong>empathy<\/strong> in the leadership model.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Establishing safety and control rules to protect workers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The <strong>social, economic and technological changes<\/strong> that have taken place in recent years have led to <strong>new<\/strong> <strong>forms of<\/strong> <strong>employment<\/strong>. \u0397 <strong>protection<\/strong> of <strong>rights<\/strong> of <strong>workers<\/strong> employed in <strong>different forms of work<\/strong>, through regulations and institutional frameworks that are fully implemented, will be an <strong>important step<\/strong> towards the <strong>proper functioning of the labour market<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Increasing the impact of the Metaverse and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>In recent years, phenomena such as the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/about.meta.com\/metaverse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Metaverse<\/a><\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basecoin.gr\/apokentromenos-aytonomos-organismos-dao\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Decentralized<\/strong> <strong>Autonomous<\/strong> <strong>Organizations<\/strong><\/a> (DAOs) have appeared in the public debate. Their ambition is to <strong>change<\/strong> the its <strong>future<\/strong> <strong>Labor<\/strong>. According to the <strong>results of<\/strong> the Adecco Group&#8217;s Global Workforce of the Future survey <strong>almost<\/strong> the <strong>half of<\/strong> the <strong>respondents<\/strong> (46%) who are of the same age <strong>in Generation Z<\/strong>, they believe that in <strong>future<\/strong> the <strong>Metaverse<\/strong> will be a <strong>piece<\/strong> of <strong>everyday life<\/strong> in <strong>their<\/strong> <strong>work<\/strong>. In fact, this is something they <strong>themselves<\/strong> <strong>very much<\/strong> <strong>want<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Regarding <strong>Decentralised Autonomous Agencies<\/strong>, their operation may still be less widespread, however <strong>67% of respondents<\/strong> belonging to Generation Z said they <strong>have<\/strong> either <strong>already<\/strong> <strong>worked<\/strong> or <strong>would like to work<\/strong> in such an organisation. The rise in popularity of DAOs and the Maverse is part of the <strong>wider trend of remote working<\/strong> and the right of the worker to work from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n<p>In this context, <strong>business<\/strong> <strong>leaders<\/strong> need to be <strong>trained<\/strong> on the <strong>new<\/strong> <strong>data<\/strong>. They should <strong>assess<\/strong> the <strong>benefits<\/strong> and <strong>risks<\/strong> of further implementation of innovative tools so that <strong>their<\/strong> <strong>integration into<\/strong> <strong>employment<\/strong> <strong>brings<\/strong> <strong>maximum<\/strong> <strong>benefits<\/strong> with the lowest <strong>possible<\/strong> risk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To record &#8220;\u03c4\u03b1 \u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03b1
