Identified by Gartner as one of the most crucial trends for the future of work, improving and driving DEI continues to be a complex equation. Organizations recognize the value that greater diversity and inclusive cultures can bring, but seem to struggle with the practical ‘how’ of it all. And one of the most pivotal factors in this journey revolves around sourcing diverse talent.

There’s no use trying to deny it – flexible work is the future. Life is far too complex to create impermeable rules about how and where people work. It’s limiting and short-sighted. By embracing a flexible mindset, one which encourages organizations and leaders to move beyond stalwart tradition, you start yourself on a journey to build a workplace that is agile and innovative.

Leadership has undergone a monumental transformation over the last few years. With the proliferation of hybrid work and a growing awareness and appreciation of the need for flexibility, it’s drastically altered how employees want leaders to show up for them. The why has become so important, particularly around where and how we work. It’s not enough to just simply demand compliance and enact arbitrary rules – leadership must evolve to cater for a new way of working, one which values

There was a time when talent acquisition was seen as a purely transactional function. It was a numbers game, all concerned with filling requisitions as quickly as possible. But as the industry developed, so too did recruiting. TA can now be responsible for so much more within this space, from talent information to internal mobility and retention. So, how do we keep this transformation going?

According to our data , 88% of organizations are struggling to find and hire the talent they need right now. And while this was an issue before the pandemic, this situation is only escalating, forcing people leaders to think outside the box when it comes to hiring and retention.

The role of management has changed drastically over the course of the last few years. And understandably so. Workplaces are markedly different environments now, not only in terms of how and where people operate, but also culturally.

The world of hybrid and remote work and interviews has revealed major flaws in the standard employee retention handbook. Most organizations can fall into the trap of treating the symptoms of high levels of churn and being reactive, rather than focusing on fixing the root cause of turnover. There’s a dangerous cycle of investing time and resources into hiring, onboarding, and training only for an employee to leave after the first year.

Millions of US workers are resigning from their jobs in a phenomenon that’s being referred to as the “Great Resignation.” A variety of reasons have been cited for this exodus, ranging from the effects of long-term lockdown giving people more clarity on their future, to disgruntlement over poor working conditions and lack of flexibility. And while this is currently a very US-centric issue, the trend looks set to spread globally.

“Language informs behavior. How we speak informs how we treat people.”. We all know the power that words occupy, particularly when it comes to diversity. Used wisely and with compassion, they can make people feel included and at ease. But, words also have the capacity to cause offense, even if that isn’t the intention. And with the language surrounding diversity being so nuanced, it can often feel incredibly overwhelming to get it right. .
