Post-Pandemic
Organizations must adjust their workforce and face the COVID challenges through re-opening
We want all corporate management teams to maintain a safe and healthy workplace. In 2020, COVID-19 sent everyone into remote video conferencing. Continuing corporate management responsibilities include informing and coordinating safety concerns, and ultimately returning workers to the office.
| COVID-19 Challenges | Benefits of Professional Steps |
|---|---|
| Young workers are the most affected by pandemic-related unemployment. | Professional development training implementation can contribute to a decrease in the unemployment rate of young workers. |
| As the older workforce begins to retire, there is a new need for skilled workers. | Professional Steps supports upskilling and reskilling training programs in the current workforce. |
| Recruiters are in the process of adapting their hiring processes to facilitate remote exchanges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. | Professional Steps allows for an easier and smoother transition to the remote workforce environment. |
- Prepare employees to return to the office with soft skill re-training.
- The COVID-19 global health crisis has upended the way we live, work, learn, and use remote automation. It requires those employees who can work remotely to work from home and be able to be productive using video conferencing.
- Across government and non-governmental organizations, the demand for skilled workers is rising as their demographics of an older workforce retires. This is putting tremendous pressure on agency management teams to replace an aging government workforce during and coming out of COVID as people are seeking better jobs. This workforce is seeking those jobs that can support remote telework, greater autonomy and those who can implement innovation. These trends call for a renewed commitment from government and corporate business leaders to support upskilling and reskilling opportunities within their existing workforce. The good news is that upskilling and reskilling programs not only foster an agile, adaptable business environment, but also save organizations thousands of dollars in recruiting and onboarding costs each year. In many cases, this upskills training includes those professional development skills that are not STEM skills related but are management soft skill based.
- We recognize that the private sector isn’t the only employer segment that can use professional development refresh training. Our soft skills support training to further mature professional development skills back to pre-pandemic operational levels in government, for non-for-profits, in private sector and academia.
