Experis research analyzes the trends that impact today's digital world.

Experis, ManpowerGroup's technology brand, explores the six macro trends that will shape companies this year and presents conclusions to help them humanize the digital age:

Growing industries will need to develop their own talent

Labor demand will remain strong in many growth sectors, such as information technology. In fact, it is expected that by 2025 there will be 149 million new digital jobs in areas such as Privacy, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Machine Learning and AI, Cloud, Data, and Software Development. In this sense, employers who focus on supporting their employees in their professional development will attract, retain and support the next generation of talent.

Humanize, not dehumanize

Organizations need to use the power of technology to humanize, not dehumanize, the workplace. For this, we must look for people with interpersonal skills that improve communication, collaboration and connectivity between both. The most notable are: critical thinking and analysis, creativity and originality, reasoning and problem solving, reliability and self-discipline, and resilience and adaptability.

Working on the definition of a hybrid work format

In a labor market in which 78% of companies say they have difficulties finding IT and Technology collaborators, employers will have to listen carefully to their needs and think of a format that is beneficial for everyone. According to the research, 87% of employees do not want to work from the office full time, while 42% prefer a hybrid model.

Rethink the need for a university degree

To address the shortage, companies can expand the search for talent to untapped sources, such as candidates with skills and experience who have not yet achieved a college degree.

Women want work to work for them.

Women represent only 28% of the workforce in the technology industry and only 14% of software engineers. To get them back into the workforce, it's critical that organizations offer them more flexible office hours, pay equity, and advanced training.

Talent knows no boundaries

There is a reality: qualified talent is dispersed throughout the world. Therefore, companies will have to become employers of choice, regardless of their location, and expand the search to other countries and markets that will allow them to compete proactively and creatively.
