A few days ago Deloitte released their massive 2024 Global Human Capital Trends Report which is a whopping 122 pages long. It’s based on a survey of 14,000 employees from 95 counties around the world. I spent a few hours going through it and pulling out the most important highlights so that you don’t have to.

This is a new type of post I’m experimenting with and the full breakdown will only be available for paid subscribers below. If you want me to do more breakdowns of research where I highlight the main themes, findings, and implications along with my commentary and guidance then please let me know.

The theme of the report is "Thriving beyond boundaries: Human performance in a boundaryless world." This is something I have talked about for many years actually, the importance of creating a human-centric organization.

In the 2024 report there are 7 trends which take center stage. These are:

1. Embracing human sustainability.

2. Moving beyond traditional productivity metrics.

3. The paradox of transparency

4. Overcoming the imagination deficit.

5. Creating digital playgrounds to explore, experiment, and play.

6. Cultivating workplace microcultures.

7. Making the shift to boundaryless HR.

Let’s explore each one and what this means for you.
