Managing workforce risk in an era of unpredictability and disruption

Oxford Economics surveyed 875 global executives to understand their view of workforce risks and the steps they are taking to identify and minimize those risks. Our research found that C-suite officials are aware of the critical nature of workforce risk but feel inadequate in managing and addressing it.

We identified a Leader group of executives that is outperforming others when it comes to defining, measuring, and monitoring workforce risk. Our leaders understand workforce risk better than others, use a variety of risk management tools and practices, and are reaping the benefits of their efforts.
