Orion Insights for Employers, Managers, and HR and TA Leadership

The word is out. Military leaders make excellent employees and quickly rise through the ranks at civilian companies. Their experience, leadership, and commitment are unparalleled, making them a hot commodity on the job market.

We blinked, and 2022 is almost over. It has been a turbulent year filled with the Great Resignation, growing skill gaps, Quiet Quitting, a renewed focus on diversity, and other unique talent challenges.

Seventy-nine percent of CEOs say a shortage of skilled talent is one of their top three worries. But these business leaders need not stress about the talent gap if they leverage strategic workforce planning.

A diverse workforce with a variety of talents, skills, ideas, and perspectives will outperform its competitors and stand out as an employer of choice. Neurodiversity is one component of that competitive edge.

Sometimes, in order to make progress in a certain area, you have to go back to the basics and reassess your goals. This concept was recently explored in Orion Talent’s webinar, Back to the Basics - The Building Blocks of an Authentic DEI Strategy, when three business leaders discussed the state of DEI in America and how to align corporate efforts.

Thanksgiving is here, and this season of gratitude should translate directly into the workplace. Employees that feel respected and heard stay longer in their jobs while morale improves. Below you’ll see nine ways to thank your team of passionate employees for their hard work as we close out the year.

Workforce capacity planning is an essential part of maximizing productivity and efficiency in any organization. It involves assessing current staff capabilities and resources, analyzing future needs, and developing strategies to meet them.

“If you don’t have a work environment that allows people to be themselves, it is going to fail…If you don’t figure out how to get there in your own special way, you may not be relevant anymore,” explained Shanté Williams, VP of People & Culture at Orion Talent, to the attendees of the HRO Today Inclusion Summit.

To those who have served and their families, thank you for your service, dedication, and sacrifice. I look forward to continuing to serve you.

How can businesses turn their DEI intentions into effective programs that nurture inclusivity, expand diversity, create equity, and boost recruitment and retention?
