We invite you to read the Diario Financiero article in which our partner, Jorge Arredondo, commented on the bill that seeks to promote the hiring of young people without experience.
The initiative seeks to modify the Labor Code to stimulate the insertion of people with no work experience. And, although it does not provide for the obligation to hire them, experts believe that it would benefit both young people and organizations.
The proposed regulation would make it easier for young people to access their first job by removing the barrier of prior experience and providing incentives for companies to encourage them to hire, notes FirstJob CEO and founder Mario Mora.’This would not only help young people develop practical skills in a real-world environment, but also allow companies to benefit from new perspectives and approaches,’ he says, noting that facilitating the entry of centennials – who bring with them a digitally native approach – encourages innovation.
Buk’s Chief People Officer, Javiera Correa, explains that, if approved, one of the main challenges is the adaptation of internal structures to include inexperienced young people, which may imply additional costs in terms of training and supervision. Organizations can integrate mentoring programs where more experienced collaborators guide young people, facilitating their adaptation and professional development’, she exemplifies.
Along the same lines, Senior Manager Recruitment at Robert Walters, Cristián Solis, indicates that ‘companies may face initial difficulties in terms of productivity and training costs, but these challenges can be addressed with several effective strategies’.
All efforts, regardless of where they come from, are a contribution both to the debate and to the implementation of the inclusion of young people in the labor market, says the associate director of Robert Half Chile, Caio Arnaes. “It is important to consider aspects to stimulate the entry of new talent into the market, but it is also important to create the conditions to maintain, develop and strengthen them once they are in it”.
