Talent shortages in the news…Within the next eight years there could be at least 5 million potential job

vacancies in the United States. Economics Week, April 2010

By 2020 India will have the largest youth population in the world, but only a fraction of them will be employable due to a severe skills gap.

Outlook Business (India), April 2010

51% of IT organizations surveyed believe talent issues have limited their efficiency and productivity.

Deloitte, September 2009

Europe’s work force is expected to become 15% smaller within five decades. The Wall Street Journal, April 2009

I’d like to start by taking a look at some recent news…(read through).

Despite the recent downturn, finding the right talent remains a pressing, pervasive issue for employers worldwide.

31%of employers worldwide are telling us they are having difficulty finding the right talent.

Unemployment may still be at or near record levels in many countries and territories, but employers are still having difficulty filling positions because many candidates lack the specific skills employers are looking for.

For example, a company may be looking for an accountant. But what the employer may really be looking for is an accountant with the basic capabilities, plus one that’s proficient with international accounting standards, has experience in the oil and gas industry, speaks a specific foreign language in addition to English and is good at leading a team. You see how the added specificity of skills makes finding “the right”individual even more difficult. It’s not just the hard or technical skills employers need but also the soft skills.

In fact, 31 percent of employers worldwide are telling us they are having difficulty finding the right talent.

The immediate problem is not the number of potential candidates.

Rather, it’s a talent mismatch: There are not enough sufficiently skilled people in the right places at the right times.

The immediate problem is not the number of potential candidates. The global unemployment rate rose to 6.6 percent in 2009, jumping to 8.4 percent in the Developed Economies and European Union.Yet, 31% employers world-wide still can’t find the talent. Our problem now is a talent mismatch. There are not enough sufficiently skilled people in the right places at the right times to meet national and global demand.

The Questions

1. How much difficulty are you having filling jobs due to the lack of available talent?

2. What is the one job you are having the most difficulty filling due to the lack of available talent?

We ask employers whether or not they are having difficulty finding talent. If they are, then we ask what is the one job that they are having difficulty filling.

Global Survey FindingsPERCENTAGE OF EMPLOYERS HAVING DIFFICULTY FILLING JOBS

As mentioned previously, what we found this year is that approximately 31 percent of employers report difficulty filling key jobs due to lack of available talent. This percentage is lower than the 41 percent reported in 2007, but is one percentage point higher than last year’s low of 30 percent.So we may have more people looking for work, but employers indicate they aren’t the right fit for their job vacancies. We will see this numberclimb as the recovery gains momentum.

Global Survey FindingsEmployers having difficulty finding talent

The talent shortage does not affect all countries and territories surveyed equally. For instance, nearly three out of four employers in Japan and two out of three in Brazil indicated they still encountered difficulty hiring people for key positions.Not surprisingly, a number of employers – especially those in developed economies – reported little or no difficulty in finding employees as there are currently more people who are unemployed due to the amount of downturn.

One thing is clear: The talent mismatch cannot be filled one position and one hire at a time.

Organizations must recalibrate their mindsets to consider candidates who may not meet all the job specifications, but whose capability gaps can be filled in a timely and cost-effective way—candidates who are a “teachable fit.”

One conclusion that we arrive at is that with systemic and wide-spread talent shortages, we can’t resolve this issue one position and one hire at a time.

This means organizations must recalibrate their mindsets to consider candidates who may not meet all the job specifications, but whose capability gaps can be filled in a timely and cost-effective way. In other words, candidates who are a teachable fit.

What is “Teachable Fit?”

It’s a concept that looks at the capabilities required by a job, evaluates the importance and teachability of each, and finally determines the capacity of candidates to develop these capabilities.

Teachable fit is an analytical framework designed to evaluate the capabilities required by a job—the knowledge, skills, values and mindset, and the personality and intelligence that the role requires. These capabilities are evaluated by examining how important they are and how teachable they are. Then, employers can compare this framework to a candidate’s capacity (both in technical skills and in mindset) to match those capabilities or fill the gaps.

Manpower Inc. 2010 Talent Shortage Survey | Thursday, 20 October 2011

23

Finding a Teachable FitTo find a teachable fit, organizations must ask four questions:

What capabilities are essential to performing the job?1

Which of these are teachable in an efficient way?2

Is there adequate time and money to develop these capabilities in the candidate?

3

Do candidates have the capacity (motivation and capability to develop them?

Training is Vital.

A commitment to reskilling and upskilling current and potential employees will enable organizations to expand the available pools of talent, ensure that their workforces continue to be appropriately skilled and keep employees engaged in their work.

Learn more about these ideas in our new Fresh Perspectives paper, Teachable Fit: A New Approach to Easing the Talent Mismatch, available on the Research Center at Mapower.com.

To fill large talent gaps with candidates who are teachable fits, organizations must understand that training is vital. They must commit to reskilling and upskilling their current and potential employees. This commitment to training ensures that workforces continue to be appropriately skilled and helps keep employees engaged in their work. You can learn more about the Teachable Fit concept in our new Fresh Perspectives paper, Teachable Fit: A New Approach to Easing the Talent Mismatch, available on the Research Center at Manpower.com.

What can organizations do now?Key stakeholders must form effective partnerships to combat the talent shortage

To answer the challenge of the talent shortage, the key stakeholders –employers, governments, labor unions, academic institutions, andindividuals– must form effective partnerships and work together to ease the talent mismatch through information sharing, training and reskilling efforts, and other programs. When the public and private sectors work together, especially regionally, the results can be impressive.

Employers

• Invest in training and development• Redefine jobs and facilitate mobility within

organizations• Expand the recruiting pool to find those with a

“teachable fit”• Improve retention, especially of older workers• Invest time in local schools and universities to

ensure curriculum meets market needs

Some key actions employers can take include investing in training and development, redefining jobs and facilitating mobility within the organization, expanding the recruiting pool, and improving recruiting and retention, especially of experienced older workers. Employers should also invest time in local schools and universities, encouraging their employees to teach and coach to develop students’ future world-of-work skills. We will talk more about the “teachable fit” concept.

27

Governments

• Adjust immigration policies as necessary to enable the flow of in-demand talent

• Coordinate policies between sending and receiving nations to encourage mutual benefit

• Use effective labor market forecasting methods• Invest in employee education for training and

transition• Foster partnerships among other stakeholders

When it comes to filling shortages of skilled labor, immigration for work is a solution, not a problem. Governments should adjust immigrationpolicies as necessary to enable the flow of in-demand talent, and countries that are primarily “receivers” should coordinate policies with the “senders” to encourage a mutually beneficial circular flow. Governments should also, of course, use effective labor market forecasting methods, invest in employee education and training and transition, and foster partnerships among all the stakeholders.

Labor Unions

• Focus on employability and continuous training to keep members’ skills up to date

• Work with the marketplace and employers to coordinate reskilling partnerships and keep course content current

Academic Institutions

Labor Unions and Academic Institutions are also key stakeholders in the talent shortage issue. Organized labor leaders need to focus as much on the employability of their members as on job protection. Continuous training to keep skills up to date and aligned with technology should join wages, benefits, and job protection on the labor negotiation agenda. Job rotations and cross-training should be encouraged, as should classes on entrepreneurialism for those who may want to run their own business. Academic Institutions face the perennial complaint that course content always lags what people need to know on the job. One way to close the gap is for academic institutions to be more in the marketplace. Contribute faculty and facilities to reskilling partnerships, then incorporate the new curricula into standard course offerings to keep them refreshed.

Individuals

• Take responsibility for managing your career• Remain flexible and willing to experiment in

new roles• Be alert to labor market trends and

opportunities• Be creative in transferring skills from job to

job and industry to industry

People with strong education and in-demand skills have choice in the job market and tend to embrace the responsibility of managing their careers. People with more general skills and less paternalistic employers must make more concerted effort to remain employable. They should understand their strengths, remain flexible and be willing to rotate and experiment in new roles, be alert to labor market trends and opportunities, and be creative in transferring their skills to new jobs and even industries.
