Embracing A Digital Workforce In ‘The Age Of And'

Our newly published Disruption Index polled 3,000 global business executives, and an overwhelming number indicate they are not effectively using one of their most valuable assets to address a major challenge in the workplace. Nearly half of respondents told AlixPartners they need to leverage technology to increase productivity in the face of worker shortages.

This is as critical now as ever. Even after several years of significant changes, employers should bank on continued significant disruptions to managing the workforce in 2023 and beyond. One major area where we see this is in the ongoing War for Talent which is being complicated by a recent round of layoffs in the tech industry. While fueling plenty of gloomy headlines, the trend has done little to dent America's persistent 3.5% unemployment rate and decrease the backlog of 10.7 million unfilled jobs.
