Trends Driving The Age of Adaptability
Amid rapid technological and socio-economic changes, people and companies need to adapt to thrive. A “New Employer-Employee Compact” is emerging as innovations in digitization, automation, and sustainability reshape and reinvent traditional roles and transform the modern workforce.
Amid economic uncertainty and intensifying competition for talent, organizations must take decisive actions to attract and retain top talent while advancing their sustainability commitments. Employees today are increasingly seeking purpose and meaning in their work, flexible arrangements that integrate with their lifestyles, opportunities to continuously develop new skills, fair pay for fair work, and leadership that cares about more than just profits.
