Talent shortages are at a 15-year high as organisations struggle to hire the staff they need to drive post-pandemic economic recovery. Yet many employers are overlooking and undervaluing a significant pool of talent that could be instrumental in meeting the changing demands of the world of work: those with dyslexia.

Organisational focus on inclusive leadership has accelerated in the last 6-7 years. Business owners want to know they have the right people in place to lead their organisation and achieve sustained success in a changed world, while driving a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture.

For over 55 years, the ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey (MEOS) has asked employers across the globe how they anticipate hiring to change at their organisation in the next quarter. For the Q3 2021 survey, we interviewed a representative sample of 1,764 employers in the UK and over 45,000 employers in 43 countries and territories globally. Although the results are, unsurprisingly, heavily influenced by the pandemic, there’s plenty to be optimistic about.

The traditional ‘9 to 5’ working day in an office setting is increasingly becoming a thing of the past. This is due to the sharp rise of the gig economy – whereby workers are earning income outside of traditional, long-term, employer-employee relationships – which has seen exponential global growth since the beginning of the pandemic.
