What the best companies have to offer in order to rank as the best workplaces, how to manage labor shortages and what the most valuable soft skills are were some of the focus points introduced to us by Business Development Manager Nemanja Nikolić.
Professional Placement Manager Sladjana Erić introduced us to HR trends in the local market such as: 1) continuous arrival of international companies, bringing specific cultures and ways of working with them; 2) profiling of new positions in the labor market; 3) new requirements set by candidates; 4) flexible working hours; 5) labor migration from the region to developed countries: and 6) digitization of HR operations.
In the last part of the workshop, Solutions-Delivery Team Lead Nikolina Janković introduced us to the challenges of the local labor market and outlined how they can be overcome. As it is recognized that the greatest challenges in our market are the lack of a competent workforce and the education system’s failure to match the needs of commerce, employers are advised to try to solve this problem by offering above-market conditions for the best candidates and investing in the potential and development of the young.
