Workforce Trends Report –Generative AI, Women in the Workforce and the Impact of Pre-Identified Candidates

The world of work is changing at a rapid pace. Women now account for more than half (50.7%) of the college-educated labor force in the US – a trend that is quickly gaining momentum in most developing countries. Companies must ensure their labor strategy continues to include a focus on women and the necessary benefits to attract and retain them throughout their careers. And as generative AI continues to change the workplace with advancements to both technology and legislative policy, our approach to recruitment, onboarding, training and retention will need to evolve as well.

In this report, we deep-dive into two key topics that are at a tipping point:  

• Generative artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential for talent acquisition and optimization while weighing the risks that organizations need to consider when leveraging this powerful technology. 
• The state of women in the labor force across the globe and the challenges they face in the workplace. As the workforce participation rate for women reaches new heights, female employment bounces back to pre-pandemic levels and women continue to outnumber men in universities. 

And, in a new section, “Intelligent Insights,” we analyze data from our Acumen^® Intelligent Workforce Platform to illustrate how pre-identified contingent candidates may affect your talent attraction, retention and cost-savings efforts.
