An expanded focus on cost optimization We all know the impact that the pandemic has had on our businesses and our economy. That’s why companies are making a concerted effort to more effectively manage costs. As stated in the Gartner report, about 13% more respondents listed “optimize costs” as a primary priority in this year’s survey when compared to last year’s numbers. But cost optimization doesn’t have to mean cost reduction. In 2021, look for HR leaders to leverage data analytics to develop a more curated view of their workforce. The key lies in building a more efficient operating model. Ultimately, the companies that succeed in the year ahead will be the ones that learn the nuances of building a talent optimized strategy.
