Drivers

Researchers agree on the following reasons:

• World Wide Shortage of Skilled Workers
• Increased Demand for Corporate Social Responsibility
• Increased Discrimination and Legislation
• Globalization
• Increased Diverse Workforce and Markets
• Explosion of New Technology and Data
• Flatter Organisations and Empowerment
