Global staffing shortages, ongoing economic challenges, and
the changing needs of workers have created acute staffing challenges,
exacerbated the war for talent, and can lead to impulsive hiring decisions.
However, as desperate as an organisation may be, hiring the wrong person for a
role can have disastrous consequences.
Using the organisation, you selected for your Early
Engagement Task AND relevant source materials to support your discussion, write
an essay that:
·
identifies three (3) key staffing-related
challenges the organisation is facing (or will be facing in the near future)
and briefly discusses how these are affecting (or will affect) its ability to
meet its operational needs and/or strategic goals, AND
·
discusses how the organisation should attract
and select the right talent in the face of these challenges, and why this is
important.
Note: The essay needs to do more than just describe the
issues or concepts – it needs to discuss these. Identifying the pros/advantages
and cons/disadvantages of an idea, and explaining the ‘why’ are important parts
of a discussion.

in your essay:
The
