Modern organisations are up against a number of difficult challenges. Political and economic uncertainty, widespread technological change and a fast-paced and increasingly competitive marketplace, to name just a few.

To excel in today’s rapidly changing business environment, organisations need people that act with agility. That means possessing the ability to sense what is happening around them, and then responding proactively and independently in ways that align with the business’s purpose and objectives. 

To gain some fresh insights into the steps organisations are taking to invest in a more agile workforce, we carried out a global talent survey of 256 business leaders, HR professionals and industry experts.

Our global talent survey on individual and team agility revealed:

  • 86% of organisations believe agility is central to their success
  • Only 28% of respondents measure for agility during the assessment of existing and potential employees
  • 57% of respondents struggle to identify and recruit agile talent
