There's frequent speculation about when the current recession will end, whilst others claim the economy is showing positive signs of recovery. One aspect is certain:
if and when the recession ends, and we move towards boom times, things will not return to the way they were in the late 90s/early millennium years. Having downsized, many organisations will expect to prosper with fewer permanent staff, who possess transferable skills and are capable of high performance working.
Until this expectation becomes the 'norm' amongst both current and new entrants to the job market, several issues may arise - the need for rigorous appraisals and regular feedback, huge support mechanisms, regular coaching and mentoring, and a lot of learning and devleopment.
But every change brings a loss and a gain ...............
