The Talent Revolution 2022

About this Report

It’s no secret that the last two years have been challenging - and especially so for HR leaders. The pandemic has driven change and upheaval in businesses across the globe at breakneck speed, and more often than not, it’s been the unsung heroics of the HR function that has helped keep everything together.

We’ve seen HR leaders respond to dramatic accelerations in digital transformation, adapt to and facilitate new ways of working, and navigate continually shifting rules and regulations to ensure legal compliance and employee safety.

However, it’s the ‘Talent Revolution’ currently taking place that now presents the biggest challenge to HR. Driven by myriad factors including the growing demand for new skills, shrinking talent pools, reactive responses to overnight financial difficulties, and a generational workforce re-evaluation of what exactly matters when it comes to work.

It’s this last factor that makes the ‘Talent Revolution’ feel different, unique even. Now more than ever, companies must listen, care, and support their people. They must challenge their culture, brand, and values to best support their most important assets - their people. With more pressure than ever to attract, engage and retain talent, HR leaders have had to rise to the challenge - but are they succeeding?

In this report, we’ve surveyed 400 HR professionals to identify the most pressing challenges facing HR leaders in the wake of the ‘Talent Revolution’. We’ll also share some top tips on how best to overcome them. 

At Seenit, people leaders are our kind of people, and we believe that organisations have a responsibility to look after the people who look after their people. It’s our mission to support people leaders and empower your initiatives, so we hope that our insights and advice prove beneficial to you.
