Focus: The global talent paradox

Power to the employee?

At a time when it seems the power of talent has shifted from the organization to the employee, Deloitte's latest insights examine the talent paradox from a variety of perspectives.

The economic turbulence of the past few years has created a global talent paradox: amid stubbornly high unemployment and continuing layoffs, some employers still face challenges filling open roles. In addition, the changing employee profile – from the global, generational, and skills perspectives – requires employers to change how they attract, compensate, develop, and retain employees.  

Contact us and explore these Deloitte resources to learn more about talent trends and gain practical recommendations to help companies learn from the past, address immediate needs, and prepare for talent of the future.
