1.   Challenges Faced by Emerging Issues:

Within the coming of 2020, much frightening news is circulating in the media like CoronaVirus, Australian forest fires, and many other issues that can affect the business scale. You might think that these issues are far from Pakistan, and there won’t be any harm in the future. We hope so. But keep in mind that some employers have foreign trades in China and Australia. These emerging issues can:

• reduce potential projects
• limit trade and exchange
• effect on Pakistani investments in China and abroad.

In the shade of these issues, what can employers do.?

They can shift their employing system from working in their company into a home-based work. They can also invest in another safe place or city in Pakistan. If you want to know the challenges of job seekers, read this;

2.   Challenges at Work Offers and Options:   

Sometimes, we find job descriptions looking for people who have maximum knowledge and skills to work in specific fields. While in logic terms such a job requires, for example, three different employees and not a single applicant. You might feel that this employer is looking for three in one shampoo bottle rather than an employee. How rude can this employer be by demanding all these conditions from a single employee?? Can some job descriptions sound like an exploitation contract? But what if it can be the opposite? Don’t you think that this employer is looking for a multi-talented candidate rather than a 3 in 1 shampoo bottle? To draw the difference between exploitation and multi-tasked job positions, you need to do some research about this employer and the company’s system. Ask people who were previously in the field and see their reviews. You can also read;

3.    Challenging Issues in Industrial Relations:

Industries in Pakistan provide a great workforce and contribute to the growth of the Pakistani economy. Despite these positive effects, still, many challenges are faced by employers in keeping the survival of their industry. Now let’s state some of them:

The imitation of the sector or the existence of substitute products imitating the original one: some small marketers take advantage of successful Pakistani products and imitate them and sell them in the cheapest ways. This traffic would harm the industrial field, as these products do not follow health and safety conditions.

4.   Global Compensation Issues :

Some employers adopt gender differences in hiring potential employees. They prefer female employees for receptionist and secretary staff and male employees for accounting, finance, management tasks. These differences create many issues and expose the exploitation of particular industries. Some companies are paying women less than men. This gap can create difficulties in the company’s management, which can severely affect its productivity. Adding up to these issues, some companies or industries do not want to bear the responsibilities of professional accidents or refuse to provide health assurance and other employees’ rights.

5.   Challenges at the Workplace:

Some employers cannot afford the right work conditions. For example, some companies are lacking specific equipment, or others face issues during the work process. Although multiple factors can lead to these issues, some of them are :

• Cheap and less effective materials: Low budget companies choose to buy low-grade materials, depending on their financial power.
• Working under pressure: some companies are threatened by failure and have depts at banks and risk losing everything.
• Facing professional trouble within the team: some companies cannot overcome management problems. This issue can severely affect the company’s reputation and on hiring new profiles as nobody wants to work there.

6.   Challenges for Keeping the Best Employees:

Some companies are building upon a successful team of employees. But what if these employees find better conditions and leave the company for good? The risk of losing the top employees is one of the employer’s nightmares. That’s why contracts are the best option to keep them. But what if these employees refuse to sign the contract and choose to work elsewhere? You cannot force people to work for you, but you can win them if you offer them motivational salaries and other advantages. For more tips, read this;

7.   Challenges of Maintaining Finances:

Global businesses of all sizes are facing many difficulties due to the returns of their hiring projects. As life is getting expensive, employers think of earning much and losing less. They need to follow strategies increasing revenues, paying bills, decreasing losses. To realize these objectives, companies can collaborate with project owners and exchange goods and services. They can also establish mutual ties with other companies to make fewer expenses. Moreover, companies who adopt a maximum number of volunteers and internship members realize higher economic profitability, because they won’t pay for trainees and volunteers.

These were the seven challenges of employers in keeping businesses and in dealing with employees. If you want more topics on work-life, visit the career advice section on Fratres.
