The Shift to a Knowledge Based Workforce

How to make people want to work for you, and never leave…

Today’s toughest business challenge is to find and retain loyal, hardworking and competent employees. Over the last three decades, large companies have been adding more and more temporary or contract employees to their workforce. Meanwhile, Human Resource and Administrative functions are outsourced to specialised service providers. It is time and cost effective – more work done with less hassle. This trend is here to stay, and the Sri Lankan workforce should change to keep up. Gone are the days of the Traditional Workforce, when employees came to work, sat at a desk and left at the end of the day.

The versatile and self-esteemed job seekers of today search for a work environment which will adjust to their requirements, with workload fluctuations and flexible schedules.

The solution? A Knowledge Based Workforce.

Peter Drucker, an American Management Consultant, defines Knowledge Workers as “high level employees who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal education, to develop new products or services.” The organisations that have adapted to this change create a culture where multitasking, sharing knowledge & experience and tackling unpredictable situations is the norm. When executed effectively, your employees too will also adapt and rise to meet global standards.
