The growing role of contingent workforce and the expanding role of technology to connect talent with employers are two key talent trends set to shape 2017, according to the latest Randstad Sourceright Talent Trends Report under the theme \u201cBeyond the Limits: the New Frontier of Talent\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Technology has transformed the economy and many different industries, and there is no exception in the world of work. According to the report, 79% of respondents say technology adoption in their companies has enhanced the attraction, engagement and retention of talent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Technology advances have also allowed buyers to connect with talent more easily and more workers are choosing to be independent – 70% of human capital leaders surveyed note that utilising freelancers is influencing their business.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAsia remains one of the world\u2019s fastest growing regions, and it is crucial for organisations to have the right talent and workforce strategies to help drive the business forward in this dynamic region. On the other hand, the changing economy and technology disruption mean that there are no limits to how organisations use talent,\u201d says Roop Kaistha, Regional Director \u2013 Client Services, Asia Pacific, Randstad Sourceright.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHuman capital leaders need to stay current with the forces that are shaping the workforce when they plan their resourcing strategies, and be creative when considering how best to access and leverage all the potential resources.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Being able to navigate the complexities in today\u2019s world of work and adopt a holistic approach to workforce management are imperative to ensure that organisations stay ahead of the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n
