How Will the Labor Market Change in 2024?

👉 Transferable Skills = Key to Success

To succeed in a career, experience within one industry is not enough. Employees will have to demonstrate adaptability, the ability to work with new technologies, and a willingness to learn continuously.

👉 Companies Will Offer Part-Time Positions More Often

It’s not always beneficial to employ someone full-time; for example, if there’s a need to solve a task just once. This trend is not pronounced but is more of a long-playing tendency that is very gradually gaining momentum.

👉 The Talent Shortage in IT Will Worsen

Despite massive layoffs, the number of new specialists entering the market still can’t keep up with technological progress. The talent shortage has been a fact that hasn’t changed for the last five years.

👉 Job-Hopping — The New Norm

Due to new market realities, employers no longer view frequent job changes as negatively as before. As the saying goes, everything in moderation.

👉 Offices Will Become Networking Spaces

After COVID, few want to return to the office, so the physical spaces themselves will change their purpose: instead of being places for task ex*****on, offices will become venues for events, meetings, and socializing.

👉 Vertical Growth Is No Longer Trendy

People are spending more time on mental health, which means the prospect of becoming a manager for a relatively small pay increase is no longer as attractive to employees.

👉 Reductions in Big Tech Will Continue

Big Tech is indeed continuing to see waves of layoffs. This is the result of a complex set of reasons, not just extensive hiring during the pandemic or active use of AI.

One thing is for sure, the search for highly qualified employees will always remain in trend. This is where KEY PEOPLE can help your company.

Feed Your Ex!

The San Antonio Zoo has launched its annual Valentine’s Day promotion.

For just 10 bucks, they’ll name a cockroach after your ex and feed it to an animal. For $150, the zoo can send a personalized video message to your exes, so they can witness the feast.

And the highlight of this year – a hippo dung-scented candle as a potential Valentine’s Day gift also. All the details are on their website.

What do you think of these gift options? By the way, the link is in the comments below 😄.

The first remote school offering students education in the metaverse has opened in Japan.

Children will be able to attend classes from any location in the country starting from April of this year. All the necessary equipment for this will be provided by the organizers.

The virtual school’s curriculum complies with the standards of Japan’s education law and differs from the regular one only in that the main emphasis will be on subjects related to esports and digital technologies. Each student will independently choose an avatar to represent them during classes.

Upon completion of their studies, graduates will receive a standard high school diploma.

It’s worth noting that not long ago, remote learning during schooling was just emerging.

Recently, an interesting article came out about Google and how the Performance Review process is structured.

GRAD is a system where, starting from 2023, Google conducts team reviews and evaluations once a year instead of the spring and fall cycles. The evaluation system itself consists of 5 points, ranging from 1 – Not Enough Impact (NE or N) to 5 – Transformative Impact (TI or T).

It’s intriguing that there is a stick system, where a certain percentage [2%] is immediately designated to receive the lowest rating of 1, meaning “made no impact on the product.”

Now it seems that due to reviews being conducted only once a year, reviewing offers and advancing on the career ladder at Google will become more challenging for employees.

Of course, it is advisable to regularly discuss with your manager what needs to be done to address skill gaps and move from, let’s say, an L5 grade to an L6 grade at Google.

[By the way, having a regular PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) can help in any company; it’s a good tool to have, especially if you work in HR.]

📝 Checklist for Checking Job Descriptions

The job description is a crucial tool in the hands of a recruiter, so it’s important to pay attention to some details 👇.

🖋 Format and Style

1️⃣ Use specifics, avoiding generalizations.
❌ “Stable company”
✅ “No employees were laid off during the pandemic.”

2️⃣ Write simply and clearly.
❌ “Office with a full set of benefits, located 10 minutes from the subway”
✅ “Our office is just a 10-minute walk from the subway. It has a kitchen, a relaxation area, and separate meeting rooms.”

3️⃣ Avoid passive constructions.
❌ “Your duties will include…”
✅ “You will be responsible for…”

4️⃣ Eliminate clichés and stamps.
❌ “We are a young company that is dynamically developing. Our clients are leaders in their fields.”
✅ “Despite being in the market for only 2 years, our clients include ‘Google,’ ‘Spotify,’ and ‘Netflix.’”

5️⃣ Check spelling and grammar before publication. Use proofreading services.

6️⃣ Does the description align with the communication style of your company?

7️⃣ Text formatting: correct indents, highlighted paragraphs, and the most important information in bold.

8️⃣ The ad shouldn’t be too long—150-200 words (1000-1500 characters).

By paying attention to these details, you will create an attractive and informative job description that contributes to the successful selection of candidates.

How to Motivate Leaders?

✅ Invest in Development

It’s crucial to support managerial skills, and new educational methods can assist in this. Encourage leaders to participate in training sessions and allocate a budget for educational courses.

✅ Utilise Personal Interest in Results

If financial aspects motivate a leader, a percentage of revenue or profit can serve as a strong driver for new achievements.

✅ Offer Flexibility

Non-material motivation can be decisive. A favorable team atmosphere, recognition of achievements, and flexibility in schedules and processes often serve as stimulants.

✅ Encourage Ambitions

A leader may be interested in advancing the business to a new level. Try delegating strategic tasks to them.

Which of these tips have you come across in reality?

This could be a nightmare 😈.

Remote workers are less likely to take vacation time than non-remote workers.

In fact, as the data shows, remote workers were 22% less likely to take any vacation time at all within the last year. And when they did go on vacation, they tended to take shorter vacations.

How do you think what are the reasons for this?

4 days from fired to re-hired: A timeline of Sam Altman's ouster from OpenAI

1. The key player in Altman's dismissal was Ilya Sutskever, co-founder and Chief Scientist. It's all because he's against the commercialization of AI models.
2. Emmett Shear, co-founder of Twitch, was appointed as the interim CEO.
3. However, the board of directors soon began discussing his return under pressure from investors and the threat of a mass employee strike.
4. Microsoft, the largest investor in OpenAI, seems to be the winner in this situation, as Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman are moving to Microsoft to lead a new cutting-edge AI research group.
5. Shear's appointment as CEO raised eyebrows, considering his limited leadership in AI and his previous departure from Twitch. However, he accepted the challenge and expressed the intention to commercialize OpenAI's impressive models with the support of the board of directors.
6. Sam Altman will return to OpenAI as the CEO, and the board of directors will be updated – the parties have reached an agreement.

*OpenAI has experienced rapid growth since the launch of ChatGPT just a year ago. Earlier this month, Altman announced that he has over 100 million users per week, making it one of the fastest-growing services of all time.
