Future Chemistry: The workforce of tomorrow
Employment law is elementary, it’s our chemistry with clients that defines us.
We listen to clients. We know that attracting, engaging, and retaining a future-ready workforce is one of the biggest hurdles for employers to overcome in this century.
That's why we launched a collaborative investigation into the workforce over the past few years. We understand that these are demanding times for our clients, and we wish to help. These investigations have resulted in our three-part ‘Future Chemistry’ thought leadership series.
FUTURE CHEMISTRY 3: The balancing act – Remaining an employer of choice in the ever-evolving workplace
The pandemic has changed how and where we work and expectations around work-life balance. The role that technology plays in our working and personal lives has altered significantly. The third instalment in the series summarises the principal trends and identifies key actions for boards and senior management teams on how to tackle the current challenges and opportunities, in order to become an employer of choice.
Our chemistry with our clients is at the heart of what we do, and we hope you find this paper insightful and thought-provoking.
Please do get in touch if you wish to discuss any aspect of what we have covered.
FUTURE CHEMISTRY 2: Menopause in the Workplace
In 2020, recognising that productivity and talent was being lost because of a lack of understanding and support of menopausal people, we hosted a further series of roundtable discussions to explore how best to address menopause in the workplace.
The results, which we published in our “Future Chemistry 2: Menopause in the Workplace” paper, were fascinating and provided guidance for our clients on how to create a culture that normalises the menopause and supports menopausal workers.
FUTURE CHEMISTRY: Getting the elements right of the workforce of tomorrow
In 2018 we gathered senior business leaders for a series of discussions in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and London.
The discussions focused on the challenges facing organisations in order to attract, engage and retain a future-ready workforce.
Several key themes emerged, including; the need to focus on diversity (in particular the gender pay gap and the “pregnancy penalty”) and the role that technology plays in shaping the way in which employees work.
The outcome of the debates was our “Future Chemistry: Getting the elements right for the workforce of tomorrow” paper which provided a road map for businesses on how to tackle such challenges.
