All too often we read about the need for workplaces to be flexible in work structure practices as one strategy to attract, retain and maintain Talent. However this is all too often just rhetoric with actual business practices not supporting this. There is a plethora of talented professionals ready and willing to commit to permanent part-time roles in business but sadly, not many roles exist. aCE talentNET is always wary of recommending any one business or consultancy over another with any recommendation needing to consider the exact needs and requirements of the parties involved. However one particular business that aCE talentNET is happy to showcase in this months comments is Parttime Online ... a business dedicated to supporting businesses and professionals in the pursuit of flexible workplace practices as a strategy to address the Talent shortage.
Interestingly enough, the consulting and contracting market also experiences similar challenges (but to a lesser degree) with many consulting opportunities of a full-time nature. In many cases this limits the potential of businesses to access the highest quality consultants as most consultants have ongoing commitments with a loyal client base... with sometimes only 2-3 days spare capacity each week. Like the permanent job market businesses that can provide the most flexibility in work practices will most likely secure the best quality employees and consultants!
I challenge you to think about ways that you can tap into this exceptional resource market... food for thought!
