I devoted last year’s Talent Tips columns to the employee-centric manager and the benefits that accrue to employees and the broader organization when managers understand and deliver what employees most want from them.

Looking for a new job in today’s market requires technological and networking skills like never before. Knowing that 60% of jobs are found through networking, 77% of recruiters rely on LinkedIn and other job search engines to find talent. To top it off, 75% of resumes get rejected even before they make it to the hiring manager. Candidates are using social media to build a profile while using their profile page as an opportunity to make a visual resume. They’re also connecting with other working professionals in the desired field and growing networking connections. This is the current state of today’s job search environment. 

An employee’s career milestone is an important event to acknowledge. Celebrating an employee’s work anniversary should be easy to highlight. After all, you are thanking them for their length of service with the organization and expressing appreciation for their contributions.

The world of work has been constantly changing, and without a doubt, it won’t stop anytime soon. The major disruptions can be blamed on the COVID-19 pandemic, which we are still experiencing today. As we’re slowly inching closer to 2022, are you prepared for what’s to come?
