Organisations considered leaders in workforce resilience have a fully developed strategy for engaging contingent workers, rather than viewing them as a "stop-gap" solution, a talent expert says.
Many employers are failing to address the "legacy issue" of viewing communication, problem-solving, collaborative leadership and strategic thinking skills, as "soft", and prioritising technical skills at their expense, new research shows.
Some two-thirds of employees believe their work experience can be better, but the figure is even higher among HR professionals, new research shows. Meanwhile cost-of-living pressures are impacting the workplace.
HR professionals have a major opportunity to shift from being "solely customers" to "actual co-designers" of the ways artificial intelligence is used in workplace decisions, a researcher says.
There has been a significant reduction in average workplace tenure, with the "optimum" time spent in a role now between three and four years, according to new research.
Many organisations lose their sense of purpose over time, but reconnecting employees to meaningful work improves their performance, productivity, and financial results, a workplace strategist says.
Global mobility programs can help employers provide flexible, non-linear careers and a rich variety of experiences, but as demand multiplies, so do the challenges, KPMG leaders warn.
"Industry rumblings" that suggest DEI initiatives could face the axe during an economic downturn mean it's time to shore them up, according to an expert who says continued progress isn't just a "nice" idea, it's a business imperative.
Recent years have seen DEI prioritised like never before, but if leaders want to maintain momentum in the face of financial uncertainty, they will need to be clear on what's negotiable, and what's not.
