Managing an organization in the contemporary world is a quite challenging for many organizational leaders. This observable fact has been necessitated by a combination of several factors relating to the continued uptake of technology, diversity within the workforce, as well as corporate goals and values among others (Clifton & Harter, 2019). The dynamic nature of the contemporary workplace requires a manager with high levels of integrity, good communication skills, great vision, and a desire to learn more about everyone involved in the workplace. Common challenges for managers is the workplace include a dispersed workforce, regulatory compliance demands, emerging trends necessitated by technology, diversity, as well as attracting and retaining the best talent in the workforce (Clifton & Harter, 2019).
The success of organizational managers is highly dependent on their ability to recruit the right talent into the workforce and retain it as long as possible. Employees are the biggest asset to any entity, thus recruiting personnel with the right competences, skills set, drive, and attitude that matches the corporate values of an organization is a major achievement (Clifton & Harter, 2019). In order to attract the best talent, managers should ensure that the workplace environment is inclusive, offers room for growth, and the remuneration package is attractive enough. In order to achieve high employee retention rates, managers should ensure that all communication channels are open.
In addition, employees should be involved in the decision-making process, as well as be provided with the latest technological tools in order to boost their productivity (Clifton & Harter, 2019). Investing in the welfare of employees is important in the contemporary world because the business environment is very dynamic, competitive, and new trends that influence the way things are done keep emerging.
