Building the workforce of the future

The workforce is evolving rapidly and having the right people with the right capabilities will be integral to the future success of organisations. It is essential that organisations conduct strategic workforce planning to help them innovate and grow while leveraging talent and building a robust and collaborative culture.

The 2019 HRD survey captures HR leader’s views on the key priorities for the year ahead, as well as the challenges and opportunities their organisations are facing.
