Managing Back to Certainty White Paper
Taking Back Control of your Business Performance
Extract: “Unfortunately, the climate of uncertainty has forced many businesses to focus on the short term. There has been a marked shift in business planning and operations to a holding pattern.

Ageing Workforce Impact
Implications and Trends 2010 – 2020
Extract: “In 2008 the HR Coach Research Institute released a commissioned report on Generation Y. The report focused specifically on the group’s impact on strategy and examined motivations and expectations from a generational perspective. In 2010 the demographic focus is shifting and now the Baby Boomers are taking centre stage.
Over the past 12 months labour markets have experienced a significant shift due to economic challenges and the introduction of new industrial relations legislation. As Australia begins to show signs of market resurgence in 2010, the next wave of labour challenges looms. The most critical of these challenges is the aging of the Australian workforce. Will it impair organisations, or create new emerging opportunities?”
Retaining Employees
The Great Business Challenge
Extract: “In January 2008, the unemployment rate reached a 31 year low. These factors have placed an unprecedented pressure on the business market. With an oversupply of businesses and an undersupply of potential employees, it is inevitable that some businesses will not survive.
A 5 year research project commenced in 2006 by the HR Coach Research Institute is identifying critical pressures on the business sector which employees between 2 and 200 employees. Specific sectors within this business market are most at risk.”
Recognising Great Workplaces
Businesses Stand out from the Crowd
Extract: “Business Number One Issue – Employees. Given Australia’s ageing population and existing skills shortage, forecasters are suggesting the workforce shortfall will hover around 200,000 within three years. And it’s set to worsen beyond that. Although many larger corporations are implementing strategies to soften the impact on their business, not all SMEs have the resources to prepare themselves.”
