Introduction
In the four years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the volatility in the global economy has increased 2.5 times more than it had in the previous three decades, according to the World Economic Forum.
Business leaders are contending with a “poly-crisis world”—a heightened risk environment, rising importance of sustainability, new ways of working—with the “ultimate kicker” being the acceleration and impact of generative AI, said Ravin Jesuthasan at the closing keynote address at the HR Tech Conference in Las Vegas on Thursday.
Jesuthasan, global leader of Mercer’s Transformation Services business, said those crises are collectively redefining work—away from the traditional focus on the static job to the more fluid flow of talent to work based on skills.
