Prepare for ‘The Great Re-Hiring’ with HRIS & payroll software
COVID-19 has caused a large amount of distress among people. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have been hit tremendously hard. The pandemic has pushed many of these businesses over the edge, resulting in income loss and unemployment for millions.
As the Philippines slowly recovers from the pandemic, more and more people are applying for jobs again. How can MSMEs prepare for ‘The Great Re-Hiring?’
The Great Resignation
In a recent study, an average of 73.1% of MSMEs were forced to close their businesses a few weeks after the COVID-19 outbreak and the lockdown measures were implemented. While more than half of the microenterprises had no sales in March 2020, others had to be creative with their solutions to continue delivering sales. This meant that they had to lay off employees or cut back their budget for other expenses like their existing workforce’s paychecks. The bottom line is they had to make some sacrifices to keep their operations running.
This has also affected the labor force. Their struggle and frustration with the new normal have manifested into ‘The Great Resignation’. The Philippines recorded a 176% increase in voluntary resignation across all industries.
The Great Re-Hiring
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. The National Capital Region and 48 other areas in the Philippines have remained at the most lenient COVID-19 alert level – Level 1. This means that the economy, for the most part, is recovering as private establishments and government agencies are allowed to operate at full on-site capacity. More people have regained access to public transportation and establishments, making it easy to get around. Some companies have required their employees to go back to work onsite. Some companies have also considered hiring back the workforce they’ve lost during the height of the COVID-19 outbreak.
As more and more companies are hiring employees to make up for the losses of the previous years, here are some things you may want to consider:
- Is your company ready for the sudden influx of the added workforce?
- Are your company’s systems prepared for that influx?
- What are the steps you’re taking to ensure the seamless onboarding of your new employees?
- How can you make these additional team members feel supported by the company?
One way is to make use of a smart and modern all-in-one HR and payroll software platform for attendance, timekeeping, payroll, and employee data management.
