With the banking crisis fading in the headlines, we see more articles on the employment market. Consequently, we’ll share two diverse articles that caught our attention this week.
Diverse is the keyword. Your employment practices depend more on the realities and competition in your industry. If you lead your industry, you probably innovate and try new things more readily.
Over the weekend, the Wall Street Journal reported the end of remote work for many workers. In January, we raised the question in an article titled “Is Remote Work Here to Stay?” on our blog page. It is unlikely that remote work will disappear; both reports indicate remote work is heavily dependent on the job and industry. The hospitality sector has been hiring, but IT jobs are declining. That alone will account for some of the decreases in remote work opportunities.
On Monday, the Journal made a big splash with an article promoting the public sharing of individual salaries. We reported on this trend in November of last year in an article titled “Salaries are Becoming More Transparent.”, also on our blog page. Here again, some situations may cause hesitation to release salaries. Consider the plight of some family-held organizations where compensation is a tool to manage an inheritance. The Monday article dives into other exceptions.
Diverse prospects often ask if we have experience in their industry or jobs. The answer is always yes, and our annual report proves it. Our PXT Select™ assessment measures human thinking styles, behaviors, and interests. That allows us to compare a person to successful players in any job and identify strengths and risks. You can see the job and industry breakdown of our 2022 North American activity in the “PXT Select™ Annual Report” below.
