- Global abundance but local scarcity of talent;
- Fewer young people and more older people, many heading rapidly towards retirement. of course this will depend on national demographic contexts;
- More differences across generations at work, as well as similarities (e.g., the need for respect, supportive bosses, and credible, trustworthy leaders);
- More diverse, remote, and virtual workforces with different attitudes toward work; and
- New methods of working and new relationships between users and suppliers of talent.
