Understanding the workforce “fault lines”
Three powerful forces are reshaping the global workforce: geopolitics, artificial intelligence and labour shortages. Together, they are changing the relationship between labour supply and demand, meaning many traditional workforce strategies no longer apply.
In this iED-hosted partner webinar, Elena Magrini, Head of Global Research at Lightcast, will share findings from Lightcast’s research into these labour market fault lines and explain what they mean in the UK context.
The webinar will explore
- How geopolitics is disrupting global talent movement
- How AI is changing skills demand and workforce planning
- Why labour shortages are becoming a long-term economic challenge
- What these trends mean for UK organisations and places
- The risks, opportunities and strategic choices facing employers
Lightcast’s report highlights three structural workforce challenges: displacement of talent caused by geopolitics, disruption of talent caused by AI, and deficit of talent caused by labour shortages. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
