Attracting young talent to the Advertising industry: Dentsu success story
Context
With the rising need for talent across industries, companies today are becoming more service-centric. Organizations must design talent attraction and retention strategies that ensure people and talent are at the heart of their processes.
- 1/3 of the workforce will change employers before the end of the year and about 40% will switch industries.
- More than 80% of the people interviewed in a Mercer survey feel they're heading for a burnout.
- GenZ today are looking for 4 essential aspects in a job: Compensation (41%), Stability (33%), Opportunity to build their career (32%), Autonomy (30%).
HR activities must therefore be considered as part of an HR system, not as stand-alone activities, that focuses on the four Rs:
- Recruit
- Retain
- Reskill
- Redesign
