personnel today: HR leaders tackle long-term talent strategies.

April 9, 2023

Talent leaders in the U.K. bring distinct perspectives to today’s talent strategies, according to the Randstad Enterprise 2023 Talent Trends research, which surveyed more than 900 C-suite and HR leaders in 18 markets globally.

Notably, while 42% of global leaders consider talent scarcity a pain point, that number jumps to 76% in the United Kingdom. Yet, at the same time, U.K. leaders expect to invest less in strategies to overcome talent shortages. For instance, while 76% of leaders globally are focusing more on reskilling and career engagement, and 56% plan to increase spending on internal talent mobility platforms, only 44% of U.K. talent leaders expect to invest in internal mobility.

Similarly, despite concerns around skills shortages, only 52% of U.K. talent leaders are using analytics or technology to support their hiring and workforce planning decisions, compared to 72% globally.
