Multiple simultaneous disruptions – specifically a scarcity of talent, growing digital sophistication, and increased availability of technology – are converging. In the Age of And, technology plays a critical role in creating a positive culture for employees in the hybrid and remote work environment - empowering workers and sparking collaboration between physical workers and digital workers. This new way of working is driving organizations to think about the collaborative role technology plays in creating a work culture where employees not only thrive but also create and are innovative.
In AlixPartners' newly published Disruption Index which polled 3,000 global business executives, an overwhelming number indicate they are not effectively using one of their most valuable assets to address major challenges in the workplace. Nearly half of respondents told AlixPartners they need to leverage technology to increase productivity in the face of worker shortages.
Even after several years of significant changes, employers should bank on continued significant disruptions to managing the workforce in 2023 and beyond. One major area where we see this is in the ongoing War for Talent, which is being complicated by a recent round of layoffs in the tech industry. While fueling plenty of gloomy headlines, the trend has done little to dent America's persistent 3.5% unemployment rate and decrease the backlog of 10.7 million unfilled jobs.
