The Great Realization

The Trends Driving Transformation Are Not New, but Newly Urgent

In 2022 we are now seeing the emergence of the Great Realization where both workers and companies recognize we need something new and different. 

This recovery is unlike any we have ever seen -demand for skills is at a record high in many markets, while unemployment levels are still elevated and workforce participation stagnates.
Uneven economic growth continues with some markets recovering well while others lag, hampered by Covid variants, vaccination rates and challenges to a previously hyperefficient supply chain.
Experimentation with new work models is widespread, as hybrid and remote work (formerly 'telecommuting'), increase flexibility and will continue to do so into 2022.
Employers continue to seek flexible and strategic workforce solutions to meet the strong demand for their goods and services today and for long-term sustainable value creation.
