Where Are The Missing Workers?

The 'Labour Market Paradox' is most keenly felt by us - the recruiters who are struggling to make hires, even when key macro indicators - such as number of people economically inactive - should suggest otherwise. How are we to understand the mixed messages we are getting from the commentariat, politicians and our own lived experience?

Brainfood Live gets into it.

KPIs - How many, what and who tracks them?

“I’m concerned this is becoming a KPI-driven recruitment environment” ?? Ever heard that?

If we all agree that metrics, KPIs, data, numbers, OKRs, or whatever framework we use for tracking progress over time, need to be used, then how they are adopted is largely?determined by the clarity of?communication by leadership.

At Move, we aim to empower our teams to track their own numbers so they can identify their development areas, address them, or ask for coaching, and ultimately become more autonomous. This allows our one-to-ones to be more support and solutions focussed as opposed to status updates.

How do you approach KPIs as leadership?
