In the wake of rising talent shortages, great resignations, quiet quitting and more – access to human capital has become a major differentiator as demand for specific skills remains strong and talent shortages continue. Whilst technology may be the great enabler, humans are still the catalyst to the future as 85% of companies reported talent shortages in 2022. Businesses need to remain steadfast in their commitment to prioritising skills and people, and continue to build the right blend of people, technology and skills.

A heightened focus on a values-driven agenda, empathetic leaders and a culture of trust will become a net positive for attracting and retaining talent and engaging remote teams. The employee value proposition will take precedence as employees now require employers to offer more programmes and initiatives focused on prioritising well-being while also providing flexibility, competitive pay, engagement, good working conditions and opportunities for skills development and career advancement. At a time where 80% of employers are reporting difficulties in hiring – a 16 year high – listening, adapting and responding to workers’ needs beyond the pay cheque will become a differentiating factor in attracting and retaining talent.
