Skills for a Greener Future: Beyond STEM in the Energy Industry

Image
  The emerging technological workforce is "going green.” We have previously discussed how the industry has a worldwide task force to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This has resulted in the integration of various markets and the promotion of transversal professional positions. In other terms, all industrial development is now occurring inside a clean energy economy, resulting in the formation of a workforce profile matched with the most sustainable practices. How can we enhance our programme for developing skills for green jobs? As the current workforce ages and retires, the need for a new energy workforce develops. For example, an estimate in the United Kingdom indicates that up to 400,000 additional energy professionals would need to be hired by 2050 to replace positions that do not now exist. This demonstrates the need of anticipating training solutions to bridge these skill gaps. Apprenticeship Programs appear to be a viable answer for this transitional period, as they may...

Are employment agencies the best way to find overseas opportunities?

Image
  Someone may have advised you that if you join an " overseas employment agency ," your prospects of finding a suitable position are likely to be greater than if you registered directly with foreign companies. These agencies, also referred to as international hiring agencies or overseas placement services , typically serve as a liaison between foreign job-seekers and companies seeking to engage them. Both job seekers and companies rely on the expertise of these agencies to locate employment opportunities outside their native countries. However, the crucial issue is how useful these agencies are for job applicants. Should a job applicant who desires to work in a foreign country register with an international employment agency?

In this piece, we will try to respond to these concerns by discussing the benefits and drawbacks of utilizing an international employment agency. ...

The Big Human Resources Revolution in the Middle East |Soundlines HR consultancy

Image
  In a poll conducted by PwC Middle East in 2022, fifty percent of respondents agreed that HR professionals must become talent champions and change agents. This wasn't always the case, though. Long ago, human resource specialists' job was limited to the service provider and keeper of business rules. This was not specific to the Middle East but was standard worldwide. The particular issues posed by COVID-19 were essential in altering the conventional understanding of HR duties. As the epidemic disrupted typical work practices, firms and workers alike turned to HR services for assistance in navigating the unfamiliar world. The Evolving Function of Human Resources Before the epidemic, the change in human resources was already in progress. While urbanization and demographic shifts had a part in the digitization of the HR function, the quick rate of technical progress and broad dissemination of cell devices also set the tone. In this context, the introduction of the epidemic and the...

10 Human Resource Trends to Watch in 2023

Image
  HR Exchange Network recently posted a question on Terkel.io to find out what executives in human resources and business will be navigating, encountering, and experiencing in the upcoming year. The replies are as follows:  1. Use gamification to deliver. One of the most significant HR trends in 2023 will be gamification. Gamification is using game-like elements in non-game contexts, such as using leaderboards, badges, and points to encourage employees to achieve their goals. Gamification could be used to motivate employees to learn new skills or information. There are many ways to gamify your HR program, but the most important thing to remember is that the games you create must be fun and challenging.  2. Become an Outstanding Communicator. In 2023, many employers will confront an unclear future. The combination of rising inflation, utility costs, and the risk of economic recessions cast uncertainty on the following year. One of the essential considerations for HR and up...

How is Shadow Payroll Administered?

Image
  Shadow payroll is the practice of assuring employment and payroll tax conformity abroad while continuing to pay workers in their "home" nation. Here, we describe shadow payroll, how to handle it, and the advantages of using a global human resource partner to assist with the work. The Contemporary Work Environment The job climate in the twenty-first century radically differs from that of only two decades ago. Historically, workers labored under strict conditions. The work schedule was fixed, and you were required to be in the office at a specific time for a set amount of hours weekly. Home-based and remote work in a broader sense simply didn't exist, and workers who needed to be employed elsewhere, say in another nation, either inside the same company at a different location or on temporary assignment to a client, would usually be required to relocate overseas in the medium to long term. This is no longer the case due to the development of technology, the emergence of...
