G-P (Globalization Partners), released the inaugural ‘Global Growth Report: The Rise of the Everywhere Workforce’. The report found that despite economic uncertainty, 73% of C-suite executives are focused on growing their organization over the next year. However, growth requires skilled talent that leaders can’t find locally, pushing them to look beyond borders to source success.
The G-P 2023 Global Growth Report brings together perspectives from 2,500 executive leaders and 5,500 employed professionals worldwide, uncovering expectations and employee sentiments in the evolving business landscape, along with informing strategies and best practices to become a globally-minded, employee-centric leader.
“Business growth is no longer a linear journey. For organizations to thrive amid today’s ever-evolving market dynamics, businesses, and their leaders, need to constantly evolve. Adopting a global mindset is key to navigating change, driving innovation and developing new business models,” said Nicole Sahin, CEO of G-P.
“But having a global mindset alone is not enough,” continued Sahin. “Leaders need to create a holistic business environment that supports an everywhere workforce. There needs to be a convergence of global mindset, human expertise and powerful technology to navigate the intricacies of global growth in order to realize optimal innovation, create global growth opportunity and gain a competitive edge.”
