Report
Businesses have been met head on by a workforce with ever-evolving needs and demands. To attract and retain employees with future-leading skills, employers must continue to innovate. External forces are also placing pressure on companies. Healthcare costs are rising across the globe at the highest rate in a decade. New pay transparency regulations are on the horizon. And emerging technologies, like artificial intelligence, threaten to upend the way work is done.
Now more than ever, employers need a diverse set of tools to support their people in areas ranging from wellbeing — which was once an afterthought, but is now crucial to workforce strategy — to retirement solutions like pooled employer plans or master trusts. Today’s complex world is driving organizations toward data-driven solutions to help them attract and retain talent, control costs, harness new technology and make better decisions about the future of their workforce.
Attracting and retaining talent rose to the fourth highest global risk for the first time in 2024.
