The survey collects global data on employment trends, preferred employers and evolving talent needs in the current economic climate. “One of the biggest trends to look out for globally is the overarching evolution of employees’ need to belong,” said Pabi Mogosetsi, country manager for Universum Global South Africa.
“These became more widely recognised over the past two years during the pandemic and have become important differentiators to talent, as have learning and growth opportunities.” “Data reveals that we will have many more employers expecting to hire talent in Q3 and Q4. But the ‘Brain Drain’ and skills shortage dilemmas remain a challenge. Manpower’s data also indicates that it is becoming exceedingly difficult to fill open positions with suitable talent.”
