How often do you hear sentiments like these? Our facility is running out of space. It's getting more and more difficult to hire the right talent around our existing locations. Where should we place our next office to drive business growth and attract the right talent? Such challenges are common in growing economies with acute talent shortages in much of the world. However, there is a way out if you're willing to rethink your approach to location analysis.
Powered by our extensive Radford Global Compensation Database, our location analysis methodology allows clients to make decisions with confidence leveraging rich information on talent supply, turnover rates, hiring trends by geographic location and key infrastructure and ecosystem factors such as proximity to educational institutions and peripheral services like child care, public transportation and health care. On the macro-economic level, we also take into account geopolitical impact, globalization, labor and immigration law. This holistic approach to location analysis will help your company take the right steps as you expand.
At the conclusion of most engagements, we provide clients with a short list of ideal locations for an organizational growth. We also provide insights around wages, benefits and ideal workforce structure in target locations based on how competitors structure their organizations.
Leaders need to identify the biggest opportunities for impact and then execute. Often existing data is patchy, no one has a holistic view and daily priorities compete with strategic issues.
On our three-phase Accelerate Model, we analyse readily available market data to identify and quantify the biggest opportunities relating to your strategy. The data is evaluated against over 40 criteria, relating to 12 dimensions resulting in points of view on optimizing people spend, people-related risk and workforce agility and resilience. In successive phases the outcomes are validated with the business and with the people in the workforce.
The validated results are aligned to corporate strategy with concrete steps to realize the largest opportunity areas.
Our client found it extremely challenging to hire specialty employees in the San Francisco Bay Area. Yet, the idea of moving to other regions in the country felt like it would require a major shift in their people strategy. Accessing Radford data from nearly 1,000 global technology organizations, we were able to track changes in labor market conditions for specific job groups and specific employers. For example, we found evidence that top employers in San Francisco were no longer increasing headcount, but rather poaching employees from each other. Growth had to come from other locations. Our analysis and expert observations confirmed the client's initial suspicions, but also provided real evidence to present to executives. With our help, the client now routinely leverages several alternative labor markets around the U.S.
