Global Future of Work Trends

ManpowerGroup surveyed more than 12,000 workers and 40,000 employers across 41 countries to understand what’s actually happening in the world of work right now,  and what leaders need to do about it. The findings are a wake-up call.

72% of employers worldwide can’t find the skilled talent they need

70% of job skills are expected to change by 2030

55% of employees received zero workplace training in the past year

The report examines 16 workforce trends across four forces reshaping every organization: how teams are working, how people are learning, how norms around work are shifting, and a looming succession crisis that most leadership pipelines aren’t ready for.

Whether you’re thinking about your next generation of leaders, navigating AI’s impact on your workforce, or trying to retain the talent you already have — the data in this report gives you the context to make smarter decisions.
