Feeling
overwhelmed?
With the world of work changing
at a rapid pace, employees across
the globe are craving stability.
Results of Deloitte’s 2025 Global
Human Capital Trends survey show
that approximately two-thirds
of workers feel overwhelmed by
the pace of change and almost half
fear that they will be left behind.
The survey reveals that the
average worker experiences
10 planned enterprise changes each
year, including organisational
restructuring, cultural transformation
and large technology initiatives.
That is an increase from two such
changes per year in 2016.
More than 75 per cent of workers
hope for greater stability in work
in the future, but will they get what
they wish for? Only 19 per cent of
business leaders believe traditional
models of work are best suited
to create value for workers and their
organisation. 85 per cent say that
organisations need to create more
agile ways of work to swiftly adapt
to market changes.
