Deloitte

This winter, Deloitte University Press released their annual Human Capital Trends Report. This year, a

clear theme emerged: companies are seeing a need to completely redesign their organization amidst

demographic, technological, and societal changes.

6

Respondents were addressing these big picture changes and others by focusing on several emerging HR trends: rethinking organizational design, developing leadership, employer branding and culture, and people analytics.

More than 50 percent of survey respondents stated they are trying to change their company culture in response to shifting talent markets and increased competition.

Society for Human Resource Management

Society for Human Resource Management published survey findings this January on how HR professionals are using the rise of mobile and social media to recruit talent.

82%

Recruiting through social media is still growing, but most companies treat social media as an added method for recruiting, not as its only strategy. In 2011, 56 percent of employers used social media in their recruitment process. Today, 84 percent of employers do. LinkedIn is the most popular social media site for recruitment, Facebook is the second most popular, and Twitter is third.

gallup

Gallup regularly measures job creation across the United States in order to track high-growth areas and struggling regions. In March, Gallup released a report about which

cities are booming and which cities aren’t.

10

Orlando, FL led the nation in job creation for 2015. Much of Orlando’s growth came from - yep, you guessed it - the leisure and hospitality sector.

Other hot cities include Salt Lake City, UT; Austin, TX; Louisville, KY; and San Francisco, CA. Each of these metropolitan areas added a significant number of technology jobs last year. At the other end of the spectrum, Hartford, CT and Providence, RI ranked last for job creation. Both states have lost manufacturing jobs over the past few years.

careerbuilder

In February 2016, CareerBuilder released a study they conducted with Harris Poll about gender equality in the

workplace. The results weren’t encouraging.

12

Women’s treatment in the workplace has been a hot topic for decades, and many companies are making big efforts to change the pay and leadership gaps in their workforces...but we still have a way to go. A study published this February by CareerBuilder showed that many workers and HR managers still report rampant inequality in the office, at every income level.

Jobvite released their annual job seeker study in March. They surveyed more than 2,000 Americans to see where they stand on issues like the economy, job security, and

the workforce of the future.

14

Staying in the same job for 10 years is no longer the norm and today’s professionals are keeping their options open when it comes to switching jobs: 74 percent of employees are open to a new role.

More established professionals value compensation more than millennials do, while millennials are more interested in work from home options than older generations are. The interview process has the greatest impact on a job seeker’s opinion of the job and the company, outweighing conversations with current employees, online research, and initial interactions with an employer.

Pew Research released this analysis in March. In it, Americans were surveyed about their predictions and

thoughts on the future of work and the loss of jobs due to technology.

Two-thirds of Americans believe robots and computers will take over much of the work currently being done by humans. However, even as Americans expect more jobs to become automated, 80% believe their jobs are safe from becoming obsolete.
