ManpowerGroup's delegation will join global
government and business leaders in Davos to shape practical solutions to address
polarization and progress upskilling as AI and automation
accelerate
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 20,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With artificial
intelligence reshaping every industry and the green transition
impacting demand for skills around the world, ManpowerGroup (NYSE:
MAN) brings insights around worker sentiment to the World Economic
Forum's (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos,
Switzerland this week, sharing the latest data from its
Talent Barometer: while 70% of people feel positive about green
initiatives transforming jobs, just 53% believe AI will benefit
their career and only 25% of workers see opportunities for upward
mobility in their current role.
"The significant growth opportunities presented by
technological change, generative AI, and the green transition can
only be realized if companies have access to the skilled talent
they need to accelerate transformation, and people have access to
growth jobs," said Jonas Prising,
ManpowerGroup Chair & CEO. "At the World Economic Forum's
Annual Meeting this week we will address the core challenge facing
companies and governments: how to develop practical solutions to
help people overcome the challenges in many markets as they
struggle to see where their skills fit in a rapidly evolving world
of work. The workforce remains a company's most valuable resource
and targeted upskilling is needed to accelerate growth, adapt and
unlock human potential."
Prising will lead a key strategic session of WEF's Centre for
the New Economy and Society Advisory Board, where global leaders
will address critical economic and societal challenges shaping 2025
and beyond.
Additionally, on Wednesday, January
22 at 2:15 pm CET,
ManpowerGroup will host "What Will Work Be Once AI Grows
Up?" featuring ManpowerGroup Chief Commercial Officer
Becky Frankiewicz, Athina
Kanioura, EVP, Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer at
PepsiCo, and Cisco EVP and Chief People, Policy & Purpose
Officer Francine Katsoudas.
Moderated by former CNBC Lead Anchor Geoff Cutmore, the conversation will explore
what work will look like as AI matures, and how organizations can
help people find value, purpose, and connection in an increasingly
digital and automated world. This event will be available to watch
on-demand on Thursday, January 23
at 1 pm CET/7
am EST at wef.manpowergroup.com.
During the Annual Meeting, ManpowerGroup will unveil its
Accelerating Adaptability: 2025 Global Workforce Trends report,
outlining 16 key trends across four major forces shaping the future
of work: the expansive workforce, new ways of working, digital
transformation, and accelerating global change. The company will
also release the findings of its 2025 Talent Shortage Survey,
showing that despite AI's advancement, 74% of employers worldwide
struggle to find the skilled talent they need.
