Deloitte's 2016 Human Capital trends report reveals organisational design has rocketed to the top of the agenda among senior executives and HR worldwide, with 92% rating it as a key priority. Perennial issues such as leadership, learning and HR skills continue to rank high in importance, as in previous years. The research shows that culture and engagement are also a major concern for the C-suite, reflecting in part, the rise of social networking tools and apps that leave companies more transparent than ever, whether they like it or not. Top executives increasingly recognise the need for conscious strategy to shape their corporate culture, rather than having it defined for them through Glassdoor or Facebook. Taken together, the trends identified in the report sketch out a vast and varied series of changes and challenges. As the pace of change accelerates, business and HR leaders who move aggressively to address these trends will likely gain an advantage over their competitors and find themselves on the winning side of the global competition for talent.
