Workplace Transformation: Navigating the New Normal

Not since the Industrial Revolution has the workplace undergone greater transformation than it has in the last 25 years - and especially this past year. Beyond the not insignificant impacts of economics, technology, and demographics, the workplace is influenced by the rising power of workers whose demands have gone well beyond traditional concerns about pay and benefits, work/life balance and community outreach. The pandemic has also introduced an entirely new dimension and need for adaptation, igniting a newfound focus on safety, workforce planning, and flexibility. On top of that, business leaders today must address new questions relating to ethics, transparency, diversity and inclusion, purpose-driven missions and more. Amid a continuously shrinking pool of talent, employers need new approaches as they face an ever-widening array of challenges in how to effectively recruit, engage and retain the talent they need to grow and prosper. Steeped in nearly 25 years of research into the motivations and beliefs of the American workforce, the Emerging Workforce® Study, commissioned by Spherion, offers insights to inform those approaches.

Takeaways include:

• What it takes to build a high performance workforce, driving optimal levels of employee engagement and retention while combatting turnover

• How to ensure your business is strategically positioned to quickly adjust to the current climate and future economic fluctuations

• How to a create a strategic talent advantage through employee advocacy, diversity and inclusion and a purpose-driven corporate culture

• Why shifts in where and how work is performed influence communications, collaboration and overall worker satisfaction – and how to adapt to this new way of working

• How to cultivate an employer brand that aligns to the values that matter most to workers, help your organization stand out as they work to attract and retain skilled talent
