Tammy Browning, Senior Vice President and Group President of Enterprise Talent Management at Kelly, has discussed workforce trends and challenges in several public appearances. In a September 2023 podcast, she cited findings from Kelly’s 2022 Global Workforce Report, stating that 72 percent of executives plan to leave their jobs within two years and that nearly two-thirds of firms lack data analytic tools to track employee retention and productivity. She said organizations can no longer rely solely on brand recognition to attract talent and that workers are increasingly asking for flexibility, technology enablement, and continuous development. Browning also noted that one in two jobs in America are considered low-wage with limited flexibility and that wage increases for low-wage workers are often absorbed by inflation. She advocated for including underrepresented talent, such as individuals with minor criminal offenses, to help meet diversity and inclusion goals. In a September 2021 discussion of Kelly’s 2021 Workforce Agility Report, Browning said that only 10 percent of organizations surveyed were classified as “vanguards” in workforce agility, and that these organizations reported improved well-being, productivity, and revenue growth. She stated that 59 percent of executives expected their businesses to adopt a hybrid model post-pandemic and that demand for talent had risen significantly, but that many organizations faced a “leaky bucket” of talent leaving due to low engagement. Browning noted that only 32 percent of millennials were engaged in their jobs and that one in four companies believed their leaders lacked skills to manage a remote workforce. She said organizations were increasingly considering broader definitions of diversity, including neurodiverse individuals and opportunity youth, but that biases and corporate policies still excluded many underrepresented groups.
“The great resignation is in fact real; people are leaving more, quit rates are going up, and 72 percent of executives plan on leaving their job in the next two years, which will be incredibly impactful and disruptive in the workplace.”
“Today, the number one question employees ask is about flexibility in their job—not just hybrid work, but the ability to work when and how they want, with pay and benefits that meet their needs.”
“Organizations can no longer rely solely on their brand to attract talent; people want to work for organizations where they connect to the work and see how it impacts their long-term career.”
“Many organizations spend a lot on technology to make employees more productive, but adoption and usage of that technology is generally only around 12 percent, which means the return on investment does not make sense without solid change management and training strategies.”
