Have you heard the news?
Unless you’ve been living in a cave far removed from the HR grid, you know that employee engagement is alarmingly low — only 30% in the U.S . and 13% globally , according to 2013 reports.
Many workplace experts have examined these engagement trends , considered the causes and suggested solutions . But there’s more to the story than that.
The definition of work is being turned on its head. People are bringing a whole new set of expectations to their jobs today.
This shift is real. It’s a force that even the most successful employers can no longer afford to ignore. And according to Josh Bersin , Founder and Principal of Bersin by Deloitte , this reality is supported by hard data from companies around the globe. As he said when he declared 2014 The Year of the Employee:
“The war for talent is over, and the talent won.”
So, what is really driving today’s workplace transformation? And what are its implications for talent strategies in high-performance organizations? That’s the topic the TalentCulture community is tackling this week at #TChat Events , as Josh Bersin shares new insights from rigorous research his team just completed.
