​Cost and ease of doing business once drove workforce planning. While still important, risk now significantly shapes decision-making. Employers are focused on demographic risks, technological impacts, geopolitical threats and economic concerns in their workforce investments. Automation, AI, and digital transformation are reshaping industries, demanding a flexible and forward-thinking approach to workforce planning.

Organizations must now consider talent costs, availability, and their capacity to integrate new technologies seamlessly. Climate change and ESG are crucial for business regulation and reputation. The demand for green talent professionals who drive sustainability and support a low-carbon economy — is growing, but supply is lagging. This underscores the need for strategic workforce planning.
