Execs concerned about failing to deliver working arrangements that meet employee expectations

Executives are concerned about their ability to deliver value propositions that satisfy employees and a subsequent inability to retain and recruit talent, according to Gartner's report.

Talent risks topped pandemic-related concerns, including supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, according to the survey of 254 senior executives across industry and geography, conducted in 4Q21. "Talent risks are particularly concerning to executives because they are being driven by multiple root causes," said Matt Shinkman, VP with the Gartner Risk and Audit Practice.

Organizations continue to struggle with questions related to a timeline for returning employees to the office and developing new working models, including remote and hybrid, to satisfy their workforce.

Finally, organizations may also face a lack of skilled workers to deliver on strategic initiatives, such as digital transformation, if unable to attract and retain high potential employees.

Executives continue to express concerns about rising costs and supplier contraction because of a fragile and stressed global supply chain.

"Persistent supply chain issues have helped push broader inflationary concerns to the forefront of executives' minds," Shinkman said.
