Education Benefits Help Organizations Weather Economic Storms?
Many CEOs entered 2023 bracing for a probable recession due to last year’s forecasts that indicated the GDP would contract over two consecutive quarters. Yet, the economy hasn’t shown many signs of slowing down. On a bright note, the looming fears of a possible recession in the U.S. in 2023 have been put to rest, and economists now believe that if the economy shows signs of a slowdown in July 2024, it will not be drastic. Apart from the job losses in the Tech and Financial sectors, the overall labor market and GDP have remained positive despite the inflation, hike in interest rates, and debt ceiling. Additionally, I don’t believe one metric is indicative of a downturn or that we’d know if we’re amid a slowdown until much later when there was consistent data available in multiple realms to indicate so.
Nonetheless, today’s dynamic workforce and economic landscape are indicative of one thing alone – change. Change requires adaptation, survival of the fittest if you will. My experience for the past couple of years has been that all forward-thinking organizations are turning more and more toward education benefits as a strategic tool to retain, re-train, develop, and engage their workforce. This article highlights how education benefits help you create a well-equipped workforce to weather economic storms.
