Talent

Over the last decade, the world of work has changed dramatically for employees and businesses. It’s a fundamental shift in where, how, and when work gets done and one that can easily cause a disconnect between a company and its employees.

Now, more than ever, businesses are feeling an increased sense of urgency and need to improve the agility and resilience of their workforce. In fact, our global HR pulse survey found that roughly 92 percent of businesses say they have now made attraction and retention of staff a top priority. However, businesses are encountering a number of challenges in how they identify, attract and retain high performers in their industry.

Data from our clients shows:

• 86% of HR leaders are struggling with talent shortages
• 82% of businesses indicate that increasing employee turnover is a top concern
• 75% of businesses indicate that they are losing key skills, including digital, technology, leadership, management and skills to remain agile and adaptable

 

At Aon, we help our clients evaluate and optimise their people strategy by balancing three core perspectives:

• Understanding and managing people risk
• Optimising people spend and investment
• Empowering workforce agility and resilience

 

Aon’s latest Global Risk Management Survey found that attracting and retaining talent is the 4th biggest risk identified by C-suite for 2024 globally, and fifth in the UK & Ireland. Failure to attract or retain top talent is predicted to remain the fourth most critical risk facing organisations globally by 2026, according to our survey which gathered the responses from over 2,840 decision makers.

Aon’s talent assessment practice provides clients with powerful tools and insights to help them make better talent decisions at every stage of the employee lifecycle.
