The relationship between employers and employees is fundamentally changing, but your hiring and HR practices may not have caught up yet.

People expect more from you as an employer—more transparency, more accountability, and more trust. And you need more from your employees—not only their technical skills, but also their ability to think creatively, collaborate effectively, and adapt quickly.

Today we’re thrilled to release LinkedIn’s annual Global Talent Trends 2019 report, which explores the four big trends fueling this transformation and how they will impact your workplace:

This report is based on a survey of over 5,000 talent professionals in 35 countries, behavioral insights on how people use LinkedIn, and conversations with experts and employers like Starbucks, Cisco, and Sodexo—all to bring you actionable insights and advice on these four trends.
