Lightcast

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞𝐬 As remote work and new technologies shape the future of work, it's crucial to ensure that neurodivergent workers—those with conditions like ADHD, autism, and dyslexia—aren’t left behind. Flexible hiring practices and inclusive workplaces can open up more opportunities, benefiting both employees and employers; especially as we face imminent severe talent shortages in the US, as discussed in our report, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘮.

⚠️𝙒𝘼𝙍𝙉𝙄𝙉𝙂⚠️ This report on the future of the talent market is based on objective research, and factual economic data, and may challenge your long-held assumptions, personal political beliefs, and accepted cultural trends. If you are a talent acquisition leader, or a business leader with a stake in hiring, I highly recommend downloading this report, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺, 𝘼 𝘿𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙘 𝘿𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙍𝙚𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩, from Lightcast. At least scan it; maybe even print it and pull out a highlighter and a pencil and take notes. It will challenge you to think about the future of hiring. If you find hiring to be a challenge now; it's about to get worse, but you can prepare for the coming storm:  https://lnkd.in/dt8FTNSh This report doesn't just look at recent history, or the near future, but zooms out to take a broad view of the talent market, both the history and the future, that extends beyond your own career. It looks at factors that impact the future talent market that most people wouldn't touch, including: ➡️Baby Boomers' attitudes toward education, the workforce, and how they raised their children ➡️Differences between men and women and their participation in the workforce ➡️Drug addiction and incarceration ➡️Marriage and fertility trends ➡️Immigration This report challenged me.  I believe most of what it covers is taboo in most virtual meetings and conference rooms.  I also believe it's a wake-up call. I believe that the rest of my career in talent acquisition, particularly in the civil engineering industry, will be defined by meeting the challenges outlined in this report. I believe the difference in those who will meet the challenge, and those who do not, is whether they are talking about what is in this report now, or ignoring it. 👍🏻James (Jim) P. Riney +JMJ
