Reimaging your talent roadmap

2020 will go down in history as the year in which the state of work was turned on its head around the globe. Most organisations’ well-planned talent roadmap was most likely thrown out the window for this year due to the ‘Work From Home’ set-up, which many organisations were not prepared for. The focus was rather shifted to managing the COVID-19 situation- ‘Tackling’, ‘Strategising’ and ‘Mitigating’ the adversity of the virus impact leaving the planning for growth aside. 

Having the right people to do the right things, at the right time, has never been more important or if I may say more challenging. Even under normal circumstances finding the right balance requires careful planning and execution, but what happens when the future is so uncertain that by the time you put one set of changes in place, you need to change things again? The speed and agility with which your business navigates any organisational restructure now, will have a direct impact on your ability to survive and thrive going forward. 

This brings us down to a very important business consideration which most of us would not have thought through until now…”Remote Administration”. 

Why hire an external resource?

  • Cost advantages- explore the difference in wages between countries & get the same work done at a fraction of the cost.
  • Increased efficiency- attain the years of experience in business practices & expertise in delivering complex projects through your outsourcing partner.
  • Focus on core areas- free your energies and focus on building your brand, invest in research & development and move on to providing higher value added services.
  • Save on infrastructure and technology- eliminate the need for investment in infrastructure as the outsourcing partner takes the responsibility of the business processes and hence develops infrastructure for the same.
  • Access to skilled resources- fulfill your resourcing needs with a pool of highly skilled resources. The resources employed by @CloudPloys are well educated in the respective business areas and are experienced in handling unique business needs.
  • Unshaken business operations- shield your business operations against the uncertainties faced during the pandemic and other such unforeseen scenarios by building greater operative resilience, achieved through seeking the external aids.

Building technology for success in the digital era

Even before COVID-19, many organizations faced considerable IT challenges and some were even reluctant to adapt and preferred to stay intact with their conservative methods. Now, COVID-19 is pushing companies to rapidly operate in new ways and IT solutions have become the utter need of the hour. Businesses are facing a crucial dilemma as they must act quickly to address an unforeseen functioning change and lay a foundation for a smoother tomorrow which is more robust & resilient― business running risks, operational changes, fast decision-making, workforce output, security challenges.  As we reach the other side of this pandemic, it will be essential to establish long-term strategies and be ever ready to be able to absorb any future disruptions with greater resilience. Every business needs to apply lessons learned from this experience and build a flexible operational infrastructure and a dynamic talent roadmap involving a balanced mix of “remote employee” & “traditional employee”.

For many businesses, suggested instructions by the governments to contain public health risks resulted in a sudden fall in demand for products, services, labour shortages and supply disruptions, Businesses must be willing to cooperate with the health authorities, as they advise people to stay home to contain the spread of COVID-19.
