The future of work arrives early: How HR leaders are leveraging the lessons of disruption
Oxford Economics and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) partnered with SAP SuccessFactors to understand the emerging realities facing employers and employees—and next steps for leaders in 2021 and beyond.
As the contours of the post-pandemic workplace start to come into focus after months of ongoing change, companies around the world are bracing for even more disruption. To understand these trends, we fielded two surveys in 10 countries in August and September of 2020, building on a series of research reports on the chaotic labor market published during the second quarter of this year. This report provides an overview of research results related to workplace changes, talent strategies, technology adoption, and the equity issues that are woven through all of these topics—and suggests a plan for balancing these sometimes-competing demands in the months and years ahead.
COVID-19’s impact on midsize businesses sparked a wrenching transformation. Oxford Economics and SAP SuccessFactors analyzed responses from midsize organizations in our survey.
