The Diverse and Demanding New Workforce
Why You Need a New Workforce Strategy
 
The foundation of any consulting firm is the quality of people they attract and employ
and their ability to get the job done.

My Grey Source is a boutique consulting firm
Our focus is on a quality diverse workforce

Aging:
The average age will continue to rise and become more multigenerational.
Mature workers are the fastest-growing age segment.

More Women:
The female workforce will continue to rise slowly.
More flexibility will be necessary to accomodate personal demands.

More Ethnic Diversity: 
This workforce segment is changing rapidly.
Minorities now account for 1/3 of younger workers.

Increasing Lifestyle/Life-Stage Variety
 The needs of top talent differ wildly and is no longer linear.
Increased focus is placed on how talent integrates work and other pursuits into their lives.

Tightening Labor Markets:
Labor markets will tighten and competition for talented people will intensify

High level consultants expect to work with highly respected professionals in their field of expertise. That’s why we depend on the referrals of our top consultants who know us and trust us. By referring friends and colleagues who have a proven track record of quality work in their chosen field of expertise, we build a strong economic community.


Don't settle for less
Ask for what you want, need and deserve

In working with staffing agencies, high-level talent is typically provided a laundry list of available positions.  A promise of a call down the road, etc. propogates a revolving door effect with little time to build a partnership based on what high level talent really wants & needs to be successful in their entire life.
With options being limited to the opportunities available at any particular moment in time, consultants are forced to “settle”. When we settle, we are not passionate about what we are doing or what we stand for and it shows up somewhere in our life.
We all want to work with positive people who are in their field because they love it and take great pride in doing their best work. If it's just about money, or just about a title, eventually we burn ourselves out; because what we do every day can no longer fulfill our most basic of needs. Consequently, it affects our own level of productivity, which eventually effects the productivity of our immediate environment and ultimately, the business community in general.
 
It is our belief that, over time, this lack of sufficient “merging” of passion and skill, will lead to an overall unhappy life, in general.
At My Grey Source we believe that it is critical to the overall productivity and well-being of a person, a company, and the business community to assure that the right match is made, every time. If that takes some time and additional work to accomplish that end, so be it.
