Four forces are driving changes in workforces around the world: demographics and talent management, technological revolutions, individual choice, and client sophistication. In an increasingly volatile and shifting world, business leaders need to re-examine how they leverage talent within their organisations.
At ManpowerGroup, we’ve identified this new era as the Human Age, where the ability to unleash human potential is the key to business growth.
We invite you to view the videos below to learn how the Human Age forces are compelling organisations to be more agile and readdress business processes:
In the Human Age, employers need to rethink how they access talent; reimagine their people practises; and redesign how they construct work.
The ManpowerGroup UK newspaper helps employers to do exactly that. Published annually, it keeps employers up-to-date with current workforce trends, the latest initiatives ManpowerGroup are involved in, and how we’re helping our clients address the complex challenges they face in today’s world of work:
