| We will add
a template showing the layout of a typical presentation shortly.
This will be analogous to the GUIDE Area Profiles and Service Profiles, with
an Executive Summary and various subtopics. |
The key point
to keep in mind about the GUIDE HR Market Profile is that, like other GUIDE
services, it is expected to present timely local market knowledge of a
factual nature which can be independently verified if necessary. |
| The GUIDE HR
Market Profile basically takes the high-level
GUIDE
Area Profile down to a greater level of detail on HR issues, and then
links out to further details which may come from a variety of sources to
address the various topics. There will be some
variances since a market presentation about a country or state is obviously
different from a city, small town, or rural county. |
When an
independent consultant has already prepared a professional labor market
study about an area, this service makes it easy to make such knowledge
available to potential investors, whether the report can be accessed
directly or is available upon request.
Otherwise, investors and their advisors may not now that
such knowledge is readily available to support their planning efforts. |
| NEW!
GUIDE HR Market Profiles This new section is
being added to highlight timely local knowledge about typical labor market
issues of interest to executives and their advisors, such as :
- Human resources availability and performance
- recognized skills base, industry clusters
- recent anecdotal recruitment experience
- recent turnover experience
- links to relevant
Testimonials
- unemployment trends
- recent closures or major layoffs
- forecast new projects or expansions
- underemployment patterns
- multilingual skills
- migration in or out of the area
- General HR environment
- typical benefits and social "on-costs"
- salaries and trends for various positions
- mix of leading industries in the area
- size of leading employers
- cost of living relative to income levels
- academic support and graduation rates
- special training programs
- special recruitment assistance
- recent labor union activity, trends
- information sources for HR issues
- local professional services for HR issues
|
How it
works, links to other sections This service can
usefully cross-link to other content such as GUIDE Testimonials, in which
existing investors can share their own perspectives on labor market issues.
It also links to the GUIDE Area Profiles to elaborate on
the very brief HR highlights mentioned in that presentation, and provides
points of contact for follow-up interests.
The lists of
companies in the area can also be updated as part of this process to
highlight major firms, including the links to the responsible local
development agency.
The presentations will be an executive summary with links
out to relevant details, which may include professional labor market studies
if publicly available for such links.
The HR Market Profiles are not intended to be a gathering
of statistical data, although it should be readily possible to substantiate
the key points.
The focus is to share timely local market knowledge in a
consistent way which is directly relevant to the interests of potential
investors, rather than present old raw statistics which were compiled for
other purposes.
