WHY:

Employers who clearly understand causes and effects of the Human Age are best equipped to recruit and retain today's hard-to-find highly skilled talent. In this new era individuals are a rising power. Key factors compounded to create this dynamic platform, including: pressure on companies to do more with less; a shift in demographics defined, in part, by aging experienced workers and a shortage of qualified workers to take their place; advancements in technology that enable borderless and 24/7 workplaces, particularly for individuals who possess in-demand skills and can be more selective about where they work; and rising marketplace sophistication which demands relentless innovation, greater value and efficiency.
