In HRchat episode 704, we look at some findings from LHH’s Global Workforce of the Future Report. The report investigates the changing world of work from the worker’s perspective. LHH surveyed over 30,000 workers across a range of industries, job functions, company sizes, and personal backgrounds to unravel how business leaders, HR professionals, managers, and more can best navigate shifting trends in the workforce.
Joining me on the show is Gaëlle la Fosse, President of LHH and a member of the executive committee of The Adecco Group.
Questions for Gaëlle include:
- What is the Global Workforce of the Future report?
- How can an organization make itself more appealing to top talent while so many workers are nervous about seeking a new position?
- Who’s responsible for career pathing and professional development? HR? Managers? Employees?
- PD motivations? Generational differences?
- Shaping company culture – encouraging employees to speak up.
- What does a future-proof workforce look like? How can a leader make sure their company is prepared for change, especially in light of AI’s advancement?
- What are some ways leadership can support internal mobility and ensure employees feel encouraged to stay within the company to grow?
- Why is supporting talent in these ways important?
