KEY ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY TRENDS

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, everybody thought it would be over in six months if we could just hang in there. But what became very true, very quickly, was that this is not a short haul, its a long haul - and that we were going to have to fundamentally rethink what work means, where work is done and how we lead work in a different environment.

The boundaries that were once assumed to be the natural order of things - that work can be organized into clearly defined processes; jobs can be categorized and contained wholly within the organization; work occurs within the four walls of the workplace; and organizations can center their decision-making around shareholders and the bottom line are falling away. The implication for organizations is that they are traversing a new landscape as they lose those traditional boundaries that kept things packaged and orderly, and gain permission to experiment, pilot, and innovate to define new fundamentals. Similarly, for workers, the rules of engagement with organizations are shifting, opening doors for greater and more meaningful collaboration and co-creation with the organization.

Human instinct is to feel overwhelmed or hesitant as boundaries fall away; in this years survey said their greatest barrier to achieving organizational outcomes is being overwhelmed by too many changes at once. However, the dissolution of boundaries creates new opportunities for organizations and workers who are prepared to show up in fundamentally different ways. This means no longer simply reacting to stimulus in the marketplace by deploying new strategies against the categories and boundaries of the past. Instead, organizations and workers should challenge prior assumptions and adopt a new set of fundamentals built for a dynamic, boundaryless world rather than the stable, compartmentalized one we are leaving behind.

These new fundamentals require organizations and workers to frame the challenge differently, thinking like a researcher in how they approach their business and workforce strategies, treating every new roadblock as an exciting experiment from which they can learn, adapt, and improve. They call on organizations and workers to chart a different path, co-creating their relationship in pursuit of new and evolving purpose, innovation, and re-imagination. And they require organizations and workers to design for impact, prioritizing human outcomes and approaching strategies from a human lens for humans and by humans.

New leadership capability is needed at all levels of the organization to mobilize workers and teams for achieving new outcomes. Yet only 23% of organizations in the Deloitte 2023 Global Human Capital Trends survey say their leaders have the capabilities to navigate a disrupted world. They point to concerns about leaders ability to manage the evolving workforce, with less than 15% of organizations saying their leaders are very ready to inclusively lead an expanding workforce or to consider broader societal and environmental risks when making workforce decisions. They also express concerns about the design and execution of work itself: Only 16% say their leaders are very ready to use technology to improve work outcomes and team performance, and only 18% say their leaders are very ready to develop the right workplace model for their organization.
