Predictions for 2010
The consensus forecast is that the economy will soon bottom out and begin a slow recovery, but that for some time (perhaps all of 2010) the economic recovery will be a "jobless" one.  The magnitude of the shock has simply been too great for employers to quickly shake it off and resume hiring.
 
Our clients are telling us that they are concerned about what this means for their workforce going forward.  Some of the negative consequences of tactics used to survive the downturn are already beginning to appear.  
 
Companies' workforces are disenfranchised and often over-worked, and investments in training and development have been put on hold.  Yet these are the same employees who, without the benefit of additional hiring, are going to have to pull their organizations through this slow recovery.
 
Hence, we predict that 2010 will bring an unprecedented focus on human capital management and analytics.  The stakes are going to be too high to leave major decisions on the people side of the business to guesswork and hope.  
 
A long-needed sharpening of focus on the people side of the business may be one of the long-term positives that emerges from this painful recession for many organizations.
