Since 1997, Spherion has been tracking the state of the American workforce through our pioneering Emerging Workforce® Study. The latest edition leverages two decades of groundbreaking research to track the changing attitudes and expectations of today’s workers. It uncovers strategies to help companies attract and recruit top talent, engage and retain their best performers, and plan for future talent needs by building leadership bench strength.

The 2018 Emerging Workforce Study examines:

• Building a diverse and inclusive workforce and its impact on employer reputation
• Finding and retaining skilled talent—the top two challenges of HR leaders today
• Why employee training, leadership development and succession planning must be a priority
• Emergent practices that keep employers positioned to attract and retain top-tier talent
• How to appeal to both Millennials and Gen Z as Boomers exit the workforce
• Impact of company mission, culture and employer reputation on employment decisions
• The disconnects that can derail employer efforts to engage and retain employees
• How work/life balance programs deliver a positive impact on key HR outcomes
• Strategies for combatting high levels of turnover expected over the next 12 months

As companies look for ways to gain a competitive edge in the war for talent, the Emerging Workforce^® Study serves as a powerful source of intelligence for creating winning workforce strategies. With over 20 years of robust data from almost a quarter of a million workers and thousands of companies, Spherion has uniquely deep insights into what is happening within the U.S. workforce and the impact on employers. Through this continuous, in-depth study of America at work, Spherion provides organizations with valuable intelligence that can contribute to building a high-performance workforce.
