Industry Snapshot
The automotive industry is one of Australia’s key manufacturing sectors and second only to the mining industry in Australia’s export earnings. The local manufacturing environment is facing fresh challenges from global competition and shifts in consumer preference. These challenges bring with them a range of HR requirements, including sourcing of sought after professionals in areas of innovation and rapid growth, particularly:
Research and design
Alternative fuel and energies
Computer systems integration
Technology development
Engineering
The reality of industry restructuring also brings greater demand for counseling and outplacement services.
The Import and Retail sectors of the industry are also facing the challenges of one of the most competitive markets in the world. As brands compete for uncertain future sales, there is increasing focus on not only acquiring but retaining high performing individuals, bringing more emphasis to:
recruitment of fresh talent into the industry, rather than re circulating industry bad habits
succession planning
contemporary retention programs
sourcing of in-demand technical skills, particularly in the After-sales area
In the increasingly competitive Supplier industry, success is more than ever determined by the strength of relationships between suppliers and clients. Attracting and retaining industry professionals skilled in business development and account management requires the identification of qualities other than teachable skills and knowledge. The tools available to identify and retain these key performers include:
Psychometric testing
Performance Management programs
Sak and the team at 1st Executive are uniquely placed to understand the needs of the Automotive Industry, and offer a comprehensive range of products and services to meet the current and emerging challenges and opportunities of this dynamic industry.
