Building the Workforce of the Future: From the Great Resignation to the Great Reorientation

From the Great Resignation to the Great Reorientation

Two years after the pandemic began, the workforce has undergone seismic changes: High levels of turnover. Record job openings as companies struggle to find enough workers with needed skills. A reimagined role for work in our lives. And a job market that has empowered workers across industries to seek roles that pay them better, fulfill them more and actually help them build skills for the future.

The “future of work” may be a phrase tossed around a lot these days, but in reality, we’re living it: An inflection point in the history of work where the skills, workstyles and processes employers have long deployed have to be reoriented for what lies ahead. Even as the threat of recession grows, a renewed recognition remains that leaders will need to embrace new pathways for launching careers, change the rules of how they recruit and do more to develop a workforce that expects to grow skills in order to stick around.
