This report from ManpowerGroup reveals an increase in hiring intentions from the previous quarter, signalling that employers are adjusting to ongoing economic challenges and are keen to secure the talent necessary for growth. In terms of workforce trends, the survey finds that when it comes to negotiating pay, working location, and flexible working hours, employers believe they hold the power. At the same time, however, increasing work-life balance emerges as the top priority for employers as they focus on increasing worker retention. Employers are also increasingly implementing or planning various measures to better support their LGBTQIA+ workforce - key strategies include diversity training, increased representation, and promoting inclusive language.
