- Fewer workers and reliance on a more diverse talent pool will challenge the structure of organisations
- Innovative ways will be needed to align business objectives with individual staff needs
- Retention of talent in an era of no job certainty will grow in importance
- There will be new pressures on leaders to genuinely manage, monitor and inspire high -performing staff or watch them walk.
- With the constant pressure of leaders needing to adapt their organisation to chaning business environments, the future of many white collar roles is in doubt. Leaders will need to cope with these changes to the workforce effectively.
