Global HR Update Q2 2022

This quarter, we are seeing the global HR community heavily focused on all things Talent, and you will note this theme throughout our articles. We feature Europe as our Spotlight region with a video on HR trends across that diverse geography. We also provide thoughts for aspiring HR leaders on attributes needed to succeed today, and pose some novel thinking on climate change and its potential impact on talent management strategies.

We hope you enjoy this latest update from our team.
