In ManpowerGroup’s 2012 annual talent shortage survey of nearly 40,000 employers in 41 countries and territories, skilled trades workers were once again identified as the most difficult position to fill globally with an average of three openings for each available skilled candidate. The skill trade shortage not only spans multiple geographies, but multiple industries as well touching advanced manufacturing, commodity driven industries and industrial industries.

While many of the demands for skill trades result from a combination of aging populations and industry growth, contrary to popular belief, the current situation skilled trades shortage could be largely solved by making the right talent more mobile. Therefore, it stands to reason that the skilled trades shortage doesn’t necessarily exist because of a numeric shortage of talent, but because of geography and lack of mobility of the right talent.

While talent mobility sounds like a simple solution, creating a more mobile skilled trades workforce is not as easy as it seems. Complications like immigration create the need for organizations to work with governments in order to allow skill trades workers into the countries where they are needed to fill economic demands – bringing growth and work to the economies and individuals who need it.

In this webinar you will learn:

•What are “skilled trades” and why is the talent so hard to find?
•Where does the current market shortage for skilled trades stand and why is it there?
•Solutions for addressing recruiting problems with skilled trades talent

For many companies, the workforce strategy and mix deliberately includes full-time, part-time and outsourced labor. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), better known simply as Health Care Reform, affects this strategy and the entire continuum of talent supply. With the Supreme Court now having clarified the status of Health Care Reform it is critical to explore opportunities to maximize workforce strategies to manage the overall impact.

Key areas of immediate consideration for employers include:
•I keep hearing about “pay or play”. What does that mean to me?
•Should I change my mix of full time, part time, and outsourced staff given Health Care Reform?
•In particular, are there opportunities to use additional outsourced or contingent staff to minimize the impact of Reform on my business?
•Do I need to change the design of my benefit plans? Should I change who is eligible?
•What additional reporting do I need to do? Are there other new regulations I need to worry about?
To understand more about the implications of Health Care Reform and the opportunity to manage and/or offset the financial impact, ManpowerGroup invites you to participate in a one-hour webinar where you will learn:
•Significant Areas of Impact and Key Features of the Health Care Reform Law
•How Workforce Strategies May Shift in Light of Health Care Reform

More than ever before, the ability to tap the potential of people is becoming every organization’s key competitive advantage. At the same time, many organizations are finding it more difficult to attract the kind of talent they need, where and when they need it most. In this talent-driven era, companies also need to do business more flexibly on an increasingly global scale. Talent is the new “It,” and the race for talent is leading organizations to expand their talent acquisition horizons, from exploring opportunities for a virtual workforce to those in borderless talent solutions.

In ManpowerGroup’s 2011 Borderless Workforce Survey of more than 25,000 employers from 39 countries and territories, about one-quarter of those surveyed said they’ve been looking outside their borders to find talent and solve their skills shortages. With increasing demands for niche skills in companies around the world, people are also becoming more mobile, willing to relocate to take advantage of new opportunities. Determining how to strategically migrate in-demand talent within and across countries is a growing business need – and those organizations that realize the importance of mobilizing their workforce will win in the Human Age.
