As organizations navigate toward the future of work and set meaningful ESG benchmarks, they can better allocate resources. They can also plan for their company and employees’ sustained growth and do their part to help the planet.
This converging trend isn’t just about managing risks. It’s about creating opportunities for more people around the world and embracing diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Growing evidence points to diverse, well-trained, and well-cared-for workforces that are able to make better decisions. Any company that fails to embrace diversity, or support its employees’ well-being, could hinder its ability to hire and retain top talent—impacting shareholder value.
The future of work looks promising with technology opening the door to drive much-needed change. But execution is everything, and future leaders will be the ones who stay the course on ESG and sustainability.
