Work in UA: what will happen in 2025?
Let's put everything on the facts.
To understand what lies ahead, it is important to form a holistic answer to the question "What is there now?"
The first thing to consider is the context of the war in Ukraine, as it directly shapes both employees and employers.
It affects yesterday, today and tomorrow.
It's time to be real, or what are the realities on the market today.
It is an indisputable fact that competition in the labor market is getting tougher . Remember how many posts you've seen on your LinkedIn feed about a long job search? Don't run to count, unfortunately, there are a lot of them 🥲
What other influencing factors are possible?
The best way to tell about this is through statistics ⬇️
- 6.3 million Ukrainians have moved abroad, of whom 1.3-3.3 million may not return
- 40-50% of the population needs psychological help
- 2.7-6.9% of GDP annual losses from migration
- life expectancy is decreasing
- The incidence has increased by 38% in 10 years.
Employers also influence the labor market, so it is important to understand the challenges they face.
- Lack of strategies: HR and recruiting
- Continuous need for management knowledge and skills
- Quick adaptation to external changes
- Psychological state of teams: from recruiter to CEO
- "Money, money, money".
As you can imagine, the market is not easy for everyone.
Now let's define 5 global trends and priorities of the work environment in 2025 👀
1. Leaders who can take responsibility for work in a talent shortage
2. Organizational culture: EVP, loyalty and engagement
3. Talent acquisition strategy and alignment with long-term business goals
4. Change management and change fatigue
5. AI, automation, digitalization
What should we understand now? Talent acquisition is less and less the responsibility of recruitment alone, and now it is a highly complex strategic task.
"People complain, and the government (cross out) employers sh rug their shoulders" - the famous phrase from Toronto TV fits the bill, but it's not really that bad.
But we'll talk about competitive recruiting solutions in the second part, so stay tuned. Is the result not worth it?
