The Hidden Truth Behind Talent Acquisition Strategies
Recently, I found myself on a call with my Vice President of Global Services, and what I heard was quite revealing. It became clear that the organization isn’t merely on the lookout for cost-effective talent to fill vacancies locally; instead, there’s a strategic shift toward sourcing talent from regions where labor protections are minimal.
This approach raises significant concerns, particularly regarding employee morale. When leadership prioritizes cost-cutting over ethical labor practices, it can create an unsettling atmosphere among existing team members. Such discussions can lead to feelings of insecurity and devalue the hard work that current employees contribute.
I can’t help but wonder if anyone else is experiencing similar conversations in their workplaces. As I wrap up my final week at my current organization, I’m optimistic about moving on to new opportunities that align more closely with my values and principles. Here’s to hoping for a brighter future ahead, both for myself and for all those who seek fair treatment in the workplace.
