'ROLE CREEP'-IS IT RESTRICTING RECRUITMENT POTENTIAL?

摘要

Festo Training and Consulting divisional managing director, Gary Wyles believes that in the present economy, much of the difficulty in recruitment is due to 'role creep'. In their efforts to save costs, he says, manufacturers and engineering firms are expecting employees to take on not just a single job, but to have experience in other fields as well. Mr Wyles says this sets the bar extremely high for potential employees and, as a result, manufacturers are finding it difficult to recruit the right people for the job.
