Employee engagement top global HR issue

Employee engagement has become the biggest HR issue over the last 12 months, increasing to 87% from 79% last year, according to research.

The Deloitte survey, Global Human Capital Trends 2015: Leading in the New World of Work, examined key talent, leadership, and HR challenges of 3,300 HR and business leaders.

Josh Bersin, principal and founder of Bersin by Deloitte, said “Workers are becoming more mobile, contingent, and autonomous, and as a result, harder to manage and engage. In this new world of work, organisations need to re-imagine the way they manage people and come up with new, out-of-the-box ideas to make themselves relevant”.
