2014
The 2014 Emerging Workforce Study reveals the latest new trends and insights into employee mindsets, along with implications for employers who, as competition for talent continues to intensify, need to better understand the challenges, motivations, and aspirations of their employees.
For the past several years, companies have reduced, restructured, rationalized, and pushed people to work harder than ever before…leaving workers feeling overwhelmed, underappreciated, and disengaged, just as market pressure creates a burning need for businesses to innovate and grow. The power is shifting as high-performing employees begin to exert greater control over their careers. Companies that can’t attract, engage, and retain the right talent will lose out.
