Big Picture Series

Today, we stand on the cusp of the most transformative labor market evolution in a century. The combined impacts of the pandemic, the cultural awakening around racial justice, and the existing disruption of the 4th Industrial Revolution—changes in automation, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things—have introduced fundamental changes to the labor market. Amidst rapid change and crisis response, it’s hard for employers to see the big picture. Our vision with the Big Picture Series is to offer a broader view to inform your strategic hiring objectives.
