Ringkasan

Manpower Minister Ida Fauziyah recently said that COVID-19 had impacted the employment of
nearly 30 million Indonesians, of which 1.77 million have lost their jobs due to the pandemic.
The unemployment rate rose from 4.9 percent to 7 percent, and the poverty rate increased to a
three-year high, with 7.55 million citizens livingbelow the poverty llne. Yet, with mass vaccination
underway across the nation, recovery is no longer a faint glimmer on the horizon. Industries
heavily impacted by the pandemic, such as hospitality and retail, can finally gather enough
conviction to start mapping out the way to resurgence. Itis time forbusinesses to establish clear
strategic recovery plans.

LEVERAGING INCLUSIVE HIRING AUTOMATION TO MEET DEMAND IN POST-
PANDEMIC RECOVERY

Manpower Minister Ida Fauziyah recently said that COVID-19 had impacted the employment of
nearly 30 million Indonesians, of which 1.77 million have lost their jobs due to the pandemic.
The unemployment rate rose from 4.9 percent to 7 percent, and the poverty rate increased to a
three-year high, with 7.55 million citizens livingbelow the poverty llne.

Yet, with mass vaccination underway across the nation, recovery is no longer a faint glimmer on
the horizon. Industries heavily impacted by the pandemic, such as hospitality and retail, can
finally gather enough conviction to start mapping out the way to resurgence. Itis time
forbusinesses to establish clear strategic recovery plans.

As businesses start to rebuild, rehiring will prove to be a new challenge. However, the existing
hiring structure is designed for a traditional turnover rate of 3 to 4 percent, which will not be
sufficient for the task at hand.

A survey found that, globally, it takes between 25 to 46 days on average to hire a new employee.
Given the scale of rehiring needed, conventional human resources systems will likely be over-
whelmed and unlikely to meet the demand for recovery when push comes to shove.
