Top trends for 2021
With a global pandemic kicking off 2020, the new decade has been filled not only with fevered discussions about our health, wealth, jobs and well-being – but about the impact on our collective futures too. We’ve embraced new technologies more rapidly than we could have imagined. We’ve adopted remote working at speed. And the health and safety of our people has never been more critical.
Mercer identified four critical talent trends last year globally and for the first time has released a Nordic Talent Trends Study in 2021 providing data specific to organisations in Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
The four trends have not only endured an extraordinary year, they have grown in relevance. What is critical now is how companies act locally. The study focuses on organisations' priorities in areas of reskilling, digital transformation, the employee experience and more and recommendations for staying ahead of the curve in the new shape of work.
