The heads of large Russian companies discussed at the HappyWorkForum options for solving the problem of personnel shortage, Izvestia writes on March 19.
According to the publication, the most common method is to transfer employees from other departments to vacant positions. This method is called internal mobility.
Rosbank’s human resources director, Maria Mosina, noted that about 30% of vacancies can be filled in this way. “It’s cheaper and faster than hiring candidates from the open market, and it takes less time to onboard employees.”“he emphasized.
According to Mosina, training employees in new skills for specific positions (reskilling) allows increasing the level of internal mobility. Companies’ “in-house experts” can help employees acquire the necessary knowledge.
Another method was proposed by Maxim Rogozhko, general director of the Opticom company, whose employees are mostly drivers and warehouse staff. He said that if there are not enough men, then their tasks can be digitized and entrusted to women.
“Everything that could be taken from the men was digitized and given to the girls. The topic attracted attention. “Now 50% of our warehouse employees are women and team staffing at the beginning of the year was 100%.”“, shared the leader.
The experts also pointed out to the businessman the importance of working with department heads, since “Employees do not leave strong leaders”. Another way was to attract freelance specialists who were interested in profitable work.
In addition, the managers themselves were invited to participate in staff training. To close the gap between the skills of university graduates and the requirements of employers, the latter must work with educational institutions.
“Including teaching, because only a practicing professional can teach. “There are no miracles”said the director of the Eksmo publishing house, Evgeny Kapyev.
Recall that on March 12 it became known that due to the shortage of personnel in the Russian labor market, the popularity of the rotational method has increased exponentially. According to the hh.ru agency, in March 2024, the demand for temporary workers increased by 74% compared to the same period last year.
