Global talent: Top trends for an evolving global workforce

In a world where talent shortages are one of organizations’ most daunting challenges, global talent mobility can tap into a broader talent pool—and reduce recruitment cost—by matching candidates to opportunities based on skills and not geography.

Financial, operational and compliance risks are familiar territory for organizations, but societal, environmental, and personal safety risks are creating new organizational demands, and are considered a top priority by many talent mobility leaders.

Changes to how and where work gets done, and the values it aligns to have had a profound impact on global talent mobility programs, challenging teams to align with stakeholders across the organization and display extreme agility. Strong program leadership and a jointly defined mission with employees are critical.

Global talent mobility can enable today’s dynamic and disperse workforce through the right technology strategy and digital transformation. By prioritizing integrated technology solutions, organizations can address a wide range of risks and optimize processes, costs and employee experience.

New technologies such as AI have evolved significantly over the past few years, and digitized data has grown exponentially. Global talent mobility has the opportunity to tap into these insights and technologies to improve employee experience, compliance, and cost efficiency with a well-defined data strategy.

Global talent mobility teams need to prioritize efficiency and scale while still considering purpose-driven initiatives such as diversity, equity and inclusion and sustainability. As result leaders are taking a fresh look at their available resources and embracing new approaches.
