Opportunities, Challenges, and Trends

The workforce is changing. There are increasing numbers of candidates with advanced education and little experience. There is a greater demand for remote work opportunities. Even as the demand for benefits grows, the cost of benefits to an organization continues to increase. Navigating these opportunities, challenges, and trends is of paramount importance to human resource managers trying to adequately staff their organizations.
