New frontiers in workforce experience

New challenges are presenting opportunities for tomorrow. Many trends have been converging as the greatest global public health crisis in living memory accelerated the disruptive impacts. The combination of geopolitical, economic and market forces—as well as COVID-19 fallout—is having seismic, unprecedented impacts on the workplace, leading organizations to reevaluate the ways they provide employee experiences. These influencing factors include:  

• Transformation–both digital and organizational 

• A focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) and diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) 

• A proliferation of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and reorganizations 

• A “Great Restructuring” as fallout from the Great Resignation continues; but while talent shortages still abound, some sectors are laying off workers 

Uncertain times require resiliency. Strong workforce strategies can help you forge that resiliency. Now is the time to help bolster workforce experiences and build more responsible, inclusive cultures that can provide growth opportunities for individual employees—and the business itself. Businesses who do nothing will likely be left behind, while proactive organizations that pivot to help meet the changing demands of today’s workforce can win the battle for top talent and broader stakeholder trust.
