Q&A: What’s the First Step?
Hi Tammy—
As a manager looking to strengthen our talent strategies, what one thing would you do first?
Get good at project-based work. Figure out how to use contractors, how to let employees work 3 months on and 3 off. Our research shows that that’s in more demand than, say, a 4-day week. And both young and old—over 55 and under 35—are demanding it. Make sure you’re able to make the smartest use of people who want to work differently—because there’s no escaping that many are going to work differently.
