Tahukan Anda konsep “low income trap” ternyata juga relevan dalam dunia HR? Low income trap disini adalah kondisi di mana seseorang atau suatu entitas terperangkap dalam siklus pendapatan rendah sehingga susah keluar dari tingkat sosial-ekonomi yang ditempati. Dari sisi HR, apabila perusahaan kukuh memberikan gaji dan benefit rendah, mereka akan hanya menarik karyawan level rendah. Akibatnya, produktivitas perusahaan tetap rendah dan pendapatan serta keuntungan perusahaan juga terbatas. Ini menyebabkan perusahaan tidak mampu memberi gaji dan benefit lebih banyak di masa depan, terjebak dalam siklus yang sama.

Sebagai analogi, mencari talenta bisa dibilang mirip membeli sepatu. Kalau kita membeli sepatu yang berkualitas tinggi, harganya tentu lebih mahal tapi sepatu itu bisa tahan lama dan nyaman dipakai. Jadi, meski mahal di awal, justru lebih hemat dalam jangka panjang karena tidak perlu sering-sering beli yang baru. Begitu juga saat merekrut karyawan. Investasi di talenta berkualitas mungkin terasa mahal di awal, tapi hasilnya akan lebih memuaskan dan berkelanjutan.

Bagi seorang recruiter, hal ini menjadi masalah klasik. Bagaimana mencari kandidat yang cocok dengan skill dan pengalaman yang tinggi, tapi dengan gaji dan benefit yang masuk budget organisasi? 

Solusi untuk masalah ini adalah Employer Branding. 

Employer Branding adalah cara perusahaan menampilkan diri sebagai tempat kerja yang menarik bagi calon karyawan, atau singkatnya menjadi tempat kerja idaman.

Manfaat Employer Branding antara lain:

1. Menarik Talenta Terbaik: Dengan reputasi yang baik lebih banyak orang akan mengenali perusahaan dan perusahaan akan menjadi tempat yang diincar oleh calon karyawan berkualitas.
2. Mengurangi Biaya Rekrutmen: Proses rekrutmen menjadi lebih mudah dan cepat dengan memangkas biaya iklan lowongan kerja.
3. Meningkatkan Retensi Karyawan: Karyawan cenderung lebih loyal dan bertahan lebih lama di perusahaan yang memperlakukan mereka dengan baik dan memiliki reputasi baik.
4. Meningkatkan Produktivitas: Karyawan yang bangga bekerja di perusahaan dengan reputasi baik biasanya lebih termotivasi dan produktif.
5. Membangun Citra Positif: Citra perusahaan yang baik di mata karyawan dan calon karyawan juga berdampak positif pada citra perusahaan di mata publik dan pelanggan.

Dengan membangun Employer Branding yang kuat, perusahaan dapat menarik talenta berkualitas yang bisa meningkatkan produktivitas dan inovasi, sehingga perusahaan dapat bertumbuh dengan keberlanjutan dan menarik lebih banyak klien dan pelanggan. Ini memungkinkan perusahaan untuk terus berinvestasi pada karyawannya dan menghindarkan perusahaan dari low income trap.

Did you know that the concept of the “low income trap” is also relevant in the world of HR? A low income trap is a condition wherein a person or entity is caught in a cycle of low income that stagnates their socioeconomic growth. In terms of HR, if a company consistently pays low wages and benefits, they may only attract low-level employees. As a result, company productivity remains low, and company revenues and profits are also limited. This leaves companies unable to afford better benefits and higher salaries in the future, thus restarting the cycle.

As an analogy, looking for talent can be compared to buying shoes. Buying high quality shoes that cost more in the short term can reap long term benefits as it will last longer and be more comfortable to wear. So, despite the high upfront price, it is actually the more economical option in comparison to  buying cheap shoes that you will need to replace often. The same can be said when recruiting employees. Investing in quality talents may seem expensive at first, but the results will be better for the organization and more sustainable in the long term.

For recruiters, this is a classic problem. How do we find the best candidates with high skills and relevant working experiences that still fit into the company budget?

The solution to this problem is simple: Employer Branding.

Employer Branding is a company’s way to present itself as an attractive workplace for prospective employees. 

The benefits of a good employer brand include:

1. Attracting the Best Talent: With a good reputation, more people will know about the company and it will become a place targeted by quality talents.
2. Reducing Recruitment Costs: The recruitment process becomes easier and faster by cutting job advertising costs.
3. Increase Employee Retention: Employees tend to be more loyal and stay longer at companies that treat them well and have a good reputation.
4. Increase Productivity: Employees who are proud to work for a company with a good reputation are usually more motivated and productive.
5. Building a Positive Image: A good company image in the eyes of employees and prospective employees will also positively impact the overall public image of the company for clients and customers.

Through building a strong Employer Brand, companies can attract quality talents who can increase productivity and innovation for sustainable growth as well as attract more clients and customers. This allows companies to continue investing in their employees and prevents companies from falling into low income traps.

Gen Z is entering the workforce in droves. But how do you, as an employer, appeal to this digitally native, purpose-driven generation? How do you ditch the outdated tactics and build a recruiting strategy that connects to Gen Z?

This guide will crack the code on attracting Gen Z candidates. We’ll explore how to connect and communicate your company values to Gen Z.

Be Communicative
Communicate openly and transparently the needs and expectations of your company as well as what it’s like to work there. Gen Z appreciates honesty and staying informed. Continue this style of communication throughout the recruitment process and even within your company to build a more inviting employer brand for young people.

Connect with Campus
Did you know that many Gen Z start their job hunt from before their graduation? This makes it all the more important to connect with students and university career centers. This can significantly broaden your sourcing pool and your company can get an edge on the best talents.

Update Your Career Site
When someone from Gen Z is interested in your company, one of the first places they will visit is your website. This is considered the most trusted place for information about your company. If your website is out of date or designed poorly, this may discourage them from sending in their application.

Make Use of Social Media & Technology
While Gen Z prefers face-to-face communication over texts or calls, the digital natives live a lot of their lives on social media and find job vacancies on the various platforms. Additionally, most Gen Z’s state that they won’t apply to a company who’s hiring practices are out of date.
By implementing these strategies, you will attract and retain top Gen Z talent through various channels and methods, and make the best team for your company!
