Although to be clear about unemployment and its devastating consequences are likely to be unaware of the possibility for them to develop internal policies and practices.
With the clarity of not knowing the particularities of the different countries (to cultural standard, social, economic, environmental, etc.), and inclusive in the same territories of Colombia, independent from the geographical location, there is alarming the negative impact that carries the phenomenon of the unemployment (poverty, discrimination, informality, between others).
The ILO (2013), it shows in the graph the trend of unemployment worldwide and indicates in one of his studies as one of the priorities for the agenda 2015, the generation of employment, of decent works and the reduction of the inequity in parallel with the economic, social growth and environmentally sustainable of the companies, of the company in general.
Guy Rider, general manager of the ILO, indicated equally that though Latin America is the region least affected by the unemployment generated in 2013, it does not want to say that he should not suffer from the problem and to highlight the need of the rethinking of the policies, intensification of efforts to accelerate the generation of employments and to rest to the companies to create them.
In Colombia, in agreement with the report of the DANE, the rate of unemployment is in 9.64 %, the highest of Latin America. According to this indicator, more than 2 million persons to 31dic13, without the underemployed ones and informal employees count, are individual in productive age suspended and discouraged.
The leaders of human talent, as bridge of communication and connoisseurs of the labor market and the managerial reality, can help to the creation of new employments, to inspire and motivate alternative and complementary forms in order that the persons in his job environment undertake new challenges, new projects.
Later, three small revolutions that can help to mitigate the phenomenon of the unemployment:
- For current employees: included within the training programs, training in entrepreneurship skills (initiative, persistence, taking calculated risks, etc.); and will enable them to identify themselves to their full potential and capacity to the possibility of ceasing to be employed either by itself or no initiative.
- For the potential workers: promote the dialog with the academy. Contact educational entities that possess programs of interest for his company, make them know the profile of gone away for that you wait to consider his participation in the processes of selection. It is frequent to find that the training levels are below the minimal requirements; this dialog can turn into his incubator of talents.
- For the future workers: organize, for example, a contest to possess the image and the greeting in the Christmas cards the children of the civil servants, of the clients; for commemorative dates, call for a group of children in order that they are they who organize the activity (persons in charge, dates, costs, etc.). This experience can contribute that they identify and value his capacities, establish goals and be aware of the satisfaction of the effort and the fulfilled duty.
¡The only way to reduce unemployment is to generate employment!
In management of the human talent, from human resources, given the strategic location of the area, his leaders and coequiperos have the privilege and the possibility of contributing his grain of sand of a direct way.
