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

In the world of EV battery manufacturing, talent is scarce and the landscape is competitive. Here’s how to stand out and attract – and retain – the very best talent.

Simply put, workforce planning is the process of analyzing current and future workforce needs. The complex process of creating an effective workforce planning strategy involves the following steps:

Turnover happens. Whether workers feel unappreciated, desire better pay and benefits, or are simply looking for better career opportunities elsewhere, staff turnover is bad for business.

For companies looking to go beyond a “check-the-box” approach to DEI, recruiting a wide range of talented candidates is a smart way to build diversity from within.

Choosing the right talent solution can sometimes feel like a “choose your own adventure” book.

The talent shortage is hitting industries across the board hard. The Great Resignation, a lack of technical school graduates, and low unemployment are particularly high hurdles for skilled manufacturing companies such as those in the semiconductor industry.

In Episode 3 of #PeoplewithPurpose, Steve Amsden, Orion Talent Vice President of Diversity Initiatives and Military Outreach, and Numotion’s Adam Holton discuss how the company fosters a purpose-driven workplace and successfully engages new talent, current employees, and customers by creating an organization of storytellers.

Orion Talent’s HR Executive Roundtable—a meeting of senior HR and employment leaders whom Orion gathers every few months to discuss hot topics in the world of talent acquisition—convened at the end of January to discuss a current talent challenge: upskilling.

Construction is booming, so it stands to reason that about 23% of the new jobs for engineers that will be created through 2026 are projected to be for civil engineers. These openings are in part due to an aging workforce, a lack of skilled talent, and the Great Resignation.

In their recent Recruiting Daily article, Recruiting Hourly Workers in ‘Crazy Town’, former Orion Talent CEO Mike Starich and Director of Talent Acquisition Rachel Ward explore the hourly worker shortage.
