The Hidden Conversations in Corporate Hiring: What I Learned Before Moving On
Recently, during a call with my Vice President of Global Services, I found myself in a striking realization about the direction our company is heading. The discussion took an unexpected turn when it became clear that the focus wasn’t merely on filling vacant positions with cost-effective talent. Instead, there was also a deliberate strategy at play—selecting countries with the least protective labor laws for talent sourcing.
This approach raises significant concerns about the impact on employee morale and the overall workplace environment. Knowing that the company is prioritizing financial advantages over the well-being of its workers creates a disheartening atmosphere. It makes one wonder how far decisions in the corporate world have strayed from valuing human resources as assets rather than mere numbers on a balance sheet.
I can’t help but wonder if others in the industry have encountered similar conversations. Is it becoming the norm to prioritize cheaper labor over fostering a supportive and fair work culture?
As I prepare to move on from my current organization in search of a more positive work environment, I reflect on the lessons learned. Here’s hoping that the next chapter brings not just better opportunities but also a workplace that values its employees beyond just the bottom line.
