⚔️ Start-Ups Battle Big Business as Tech Skills Shortage Threatens Growth
Over the past 18 months, closed borders and immigration restrictions fuelled by the COVID-19 pandemic have served to exacerbate a large and pre-existing tech skills shortage worldwide. As a result, many companies have been left with no choice but to overpay local staff and search overseas for requisite talent.
Lachlan Feeney, founder and CEO of blockchain start-up Labrys, said he feared a lack of up-to-date training in Australian universities could lead to ongoing problems in the local sector:
“Our educational system could be doing a much better job preparing the workforce for high demand areas like blockchain…but if we don’t solve the talent crisis, we might see local companies relocating to countries with better access to highly skilled workers.”
🎙 Atlassian Surveys 6000 Employees on The Future of Work
Atlassian’s “Reworking Work” study offers a powerful insight into the realignment of workplaces worldwide and the future of work on the back of a large global shift in the value that we place on our professional lives.
In a study of more than 6,000 workers worldwide, findings again show that there has been a significant change in employee expectations towards their professional situation.
The biggest shift has been the priority that employees place on flexibility, with 78% of respondents wanting the option to work remotely.
Reflecting a global shift worldwide, there proves to be an increasing disconnect between what employees what and subsequently what employers are providing.
Arvind Krishna, the CEO of IBM states “Why should I, as an employer, care as long as you can get the work done and you’re highly productive?”
💡 ‘Deep Tech’ Finds New Ways Through The Skills Crisis
In an environment shaped by a global pandemic, worldwide lockdowns and border restrictions have fuelled large skilled labour shortages; especially in the tech world.
Nevertheless, the ability of a firm to offer ‘purposeful’ jobs has spared Australia from entering one of our worst ongoing skills shortages in the deep tech sector ever experienced.
Looking for that purposeful role, many experienced business and technical leaders have sought to make the move away from larger corporations, leading the term the ‘Great Migration’ to replace the ‘Great Resignation’.
🔮 Atlassian Executives Predict The Future of Work
We are all aware of The ‘Great Resignation’, with employees worldwide increasingly redefining the value of their professional life and what matters most to them.
Dom Price, work futurist and keynote speaker, states that people “need psychological safety, purpose, reliable rituals, and strong empathetic leadership to thrive and reach their full potential”.
The Return on Action report found that 37% of employees will go as far as to quit their job if their employer values don’t align with their own.
