So, what talent trends lead the agenda?

The last two years have reset the workforce agenda. Global challenges in health, economic and inequality have left an indelible mark on our people and our talent strategies. Organisations had no choice but to reshape work so that everyone could survive and thrive.

 

We’re looking for a collective of global HR leaders to share their perspective on these critical questions. Help us learn what really matters to your workforce as you reshape the world of work.

Reflecting on top trends for Australia in 2020–2021

With a global pandemic impacting how and where we work, the new decade begun in a direction nobody anticipated. Though with change comes opportunity, and that is exactly how some organisations are approaching 2021. 

 

We’ve embraced new technologies more rapidly than we thought possible. We’ve adopted remote working in the blink of an eye. And the health and safety of our people has never been more critical. 

 

Mercer’s Global Talent Trends study highlights worldwide opportunities to develop workforces and reinvent organisational norms. This year, for the first time, we’ve done a deep dive into the Australian market and not only uncovered the trends that are flourishing in our own back yard, but also provided immediate and long-term priorities for you to capitalise on.

Our shifting future

2021 brings with a fundamentally different view of work and society to that of years past. Organisations are listening to their employees more than ever, and leaders are demonstrating higher levels of empathy, inclusiveness and responsiveness on a consistent basis.

 

As we saw towards the end of last year, transformation is no longer just a buzz word. It has never been more vital to weave together technology with human agendas. Our 2021 study showcases things like how organisations are balancing listening and their duty of care with agility and digital transformation, and how employers are transforming their business practices to reach sustainability targets.
