Uncover findings for the United States and globally
Top trends for 2020–2021
With a global pandemic kicking off in 2020, the new decade has been filled with challenging discussions about our health, wealth, jobs, and well-being – as well as the impact on our collective futures. We’ve embraced new technologies more rapidly than we could have imagined. We’ve adopted remote and flexible working at speed. And the health and safety of our people has never been more critical.
COVID-19 didn’t just invade bodies, it exposed cracks in existing structures and accelerated change towards what was previously termed the future of work.
The four trends Mercer uncovered in the 2020 report have not only endured an extraordinary year, they have also grown in relevance. We invite you to explore the findings.
We enter 2021 with a fundamentally altered view of work and society. Leaders are listening to their employees more than ever, and need to demonstrate empathy, inclusiveness, and responsiveness on a daily basis.
According to our 2021 Talent Trends Study, 58% of US companies have set up a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) council or taskforce to promote inclusivity.
Leveraging the insights that emerge, it has never been more vital to weave together the technology and human agendas. What is the best way to respond to these challenges? How are leading organizations balancing listening and duty of care with agility and digital transformation? And how are employers transforming business practices for sustainability?
