For the past 20 years our Workmonitor research has
captured the voice of the global workforce to show
that people's needs are broad, dynamic and evolving
with the labor market and economy. It's exciting to see
how much has changed in just the past three years.
A new social contract between employers and workers has come about,
Gen-Z and Millenials place greater emphasis on values, and organizations
increasingly link empathy and workplace experience to workforce excellence.
Remarkably, a growing number of people are telling us they want a more equitable
workplace – one that welcomes diverse voices and the specialized skills every
individual offers. For two decades, we have witnessed this trend gain momentum
and spur cultural and value changes in organizations around the world. I believe
these developments contribute to a more efficient and effective labor market.
Today, economic uncertainty has added a new dimension to worker
priorities and expectations. Facing a possible global recession ahead
and rapidly rising cost of living, workers now also place tremendous
value on employment that is secure and financially stable.
