July 2020 edition
Covid continues to cause havoc throughout the world and of course is fundamental to supply and demand in NZ.
Immigration and border restrictions are also contributing to how recruitment and human capital management is being shaped. Despite the clear issues we are facing, organisations are riding the wave of uncertainty really well by increased use of interim resources allowing the HR flexible workforce to meet the peaks and troughs in workflows.
We have seen substantial increases in the need for HR Generalist and Consultants over the last 3 months primarily to support small and medium businesses. As expected, those specialising in industrial and employment relations have been in high demand particularly in the Wellington Region.
In the spotlight: Organisational Development
Average salary is $117k and annual salary growth indicates 17% year on year.
