Because there was zero visibility of each employees’ skill set, she struggled to identify which workers had the transferable skills to do the jobs the company was hiring for. Fed up with trying to deal with seven different HR systems, the idea for Reejig - to create skills profiles of each employee - was created.
“If you’re a large listed company, and you’re letting thousands of people go without transitioning them into other jobs … that’s a failure of leadership.“We’re really calling on shareholders and boards and CEOs and CFOs to think about their wasted potential on how they run their businesses. Because at the end of the day, these are human beings we’re dealing with - their livelihood.”
Closed borders have tightened the talent pool, putting job candidates in the driver’s seat. Lockdowns have also prompted workers to think about the ‘why’ of their workplace. According to Ms Savage, this will play out as one of a number of key workforce shifts to emerge in 2022.
