• Unemployment in the Nepal has risen sharply since the outbreak of the crisis. At the same time, however, Construction experience a relatively large unfulfilled demand for labour.

• The mismatch between demand and supply is more pronounced than before the crisis. This mismatch on the labour market has negative consequences for economic development in the short as well as the longer term.

4. What specific strategies would you suggest to the industry caption for attracting and retaining talent?

Understand Your Current Cultureunderstanding your current culture is the idea of values versus ethics. Many organizations write wonderful mission statements that have great values in them.

Meaningful WorkWhen you recognize people for their accomplishments, they feel that their work has significance.

Build career entrepreneurship Allow people to set their career goals, provide them with the tools to reach those goals and let them measure their accomplishments. Helping people set their own roadmap and then allowing them to succeed will ensure that people are engaged.

Create a flexible work environmentWork-life balance is consistently rated as the one of the most important aspects for attracting and retaining talent.

Understand and embrace Real DiversityReal diversity means going beyond issues of gender, ethnicity, or age. It means embracing people who not only look different but THINK differently.

Streamline the hiring processPeople respond positively to the organization when you streamline the process and get back to people quickly, even if they did not get the position. Also, moving quickly gives you a significant competitive advantage over your competition.
