What’s New: A Social Compact Built on Growth

The social compact between employee and employer has evolved. Gone are the days in which employees are solely seeking for compensation from their next opportunity. Now, they need to be sold on the company’s vision, mission, goals, social responsibility and investment in their future. On the other hand, employers need their teams to constantly upgrade their skills just to remain competitive.

In order to achieve true enterprise transformation, businesses today need to be focused on building a culture of learning centered around upskilling their talent in power skills and in-demand tech, investing in a sustainable workforce, and leveraging the power of DEI.
