SPECIAL FEATURE<br />
multinationals have already raided the pipeline of<br />
graduates and skilled young workers emerging<br />
from China and India, and there are signs that<br />
employees in these regions are beginning to<br />
favour domestic employers over their western<br />
rivals. Organisations are now widening their<br />
reach for new talent into Indonesia, Vietnam<br />
and the Philippines.<br />
The research also shows that business leaders<br />
are looking to government to do more to<br />
help plug the skills gap. Two in five CEOs say<br />
creating a skilled workforce should be one of<br />
government’s top three priorities and over half<br />
(52%0 believe that regulation is hampering their<br />
ability to attract the best people. Only one in five<br />
feels that their government has been effective in<br />
improving workforce skills in their region.<br />
In contrast, an overwhelming majority of business<br />
leaders (93%) say they need to change their<br />
strategy for attracting and retaining talent, but<br />
three in five haven’t taken any steps to do this yet.<br />
According to PwC, “CEOs are laying much<br />
of the blame for the skills shortage at the feet<br />
of government and legislators, but they should<br />
accept that they need to rethink the way they<br />
think about, look for and value their employees.<br />
CEOs should be taking advantage of the developments<br />
in HR data analytics to predict the skills<br />
they will need and plan for changes in demand<br />
and supply”.<br />
