Investing in the workforce

In times of uncertainty, if companies reduce headcount and leave positions open, they can miss out on filling critical needs and areas.

  • Companies must invest in efforts to ensure their workforce has the new skills required by the digital world.
  • Companies should recognize the potential of longtime employees. Their experience and capacity to learn are valuable assets.
  • Companies can build resilience by making their workforce more flexible as some prefer to work on a contingency basis. It means companies have access to needed talent and skills.
